We consider the Laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel curves in the plane, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the curves and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We derive two-term asymptotics for eigenvalues in the limit when the distance between the curves tends to zero. The asymptotics are uniform and local in the sense that the coefficients depend only on the extremal points where the ratio of the curvature radii of the Neumann boundary to the Dirichlet one...

We consider the Laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces of any dimension, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the hypersurfaces and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We derive two-term asymptotics for eigenvalues in the limit when the distance between the hypersurfaces tends to zero. The asymptotics are uniform and local in the sense that the coefficients depend only on the extremal points where the ratio of the area of the Neumann...

We investigate the spectral properties of the differential operator $-r^s\Delta$, $s\ge 0$ with the Dirichlet boundary condition in unbounded domains whose boundaries satisfy some geometrical condition. Considering this operator as a self-adjoint operator in the space with the norm ${\parallel u\parallel }_{L_{2,s}\left(\Omega \right)}^2={\int }_{\Omega }{r}^{-s}{\left|u\right|}^2\mathrm{d}x$, we study the structure of the spectrum with respect to the parameter $s$. Further we give an estimate of the rate of condensation of discrete spectra when it changes to continuous.

On se propose d’étudier la stabilité d’une poutre flexible homogène, encastrée à une extrémité. À l’autre extrémité est attachée une masse ponctuelle où on applique un moment proportionnel à la vitesse de déplacement angulaire. On montre par une analyse spectrale que le taux optimal de décroissance de l’énergie est déterminé par l’abscisse spectrale du générateur infinitésimal du semi-groupe associé au problème.

We study the stability of a flexible beam clamped at one end. A mass is attached at the other end, where a control moment is applied. The boundary control is proportional to the angular velocity at the end. By spectral analysis, we prove that the optimal decay rate of the energy is given by the spectrum of the generator of the semigroup associated to the system.

We consider non-interacting particles subject to a fixed external potential $V$ and a self-generated magnetic field $B$. The total energy includes the field energy $\beta \int B^2$ and we minimize over all particle states and magnetic fields. In the case of spin-1/2 particles this minimization leads to the coupled Maxwell-Pauli system. The parameter $\beta$ tunes the coupling strength between the field and the particles and it effectively determines the strength of the field. We investigate the stability and the semiclassical...

We prove an estimate of the kind $\parallel q_1-q_2{\parallel }_{L^{\infty }}\le C\varphi (\parallel A_{q_1}-A_{q_2}{\parallel }_{R,3/2-1/2})$, where $A_{q_i}(\omega ,\theta )$, $i=1,2$ is the scattering amplitude related to the compactly supported potential $q_i\left(x\right)$ at a fixed energy level $k=$ const., $\varphi \left(t\right)=(-lnt{)}^{-\delta }$, $0\<\delta \<1$ and $\parallel ·{\parallel }_{R,3/2-1/2}$ is a suitably defined norm.

We prove uniform local energy estimates of solutions to the damped Schrödinger equation in exterior domains under the hypothesis of the Exterior Geometric Control. These estimates are derived from the resolvent properties.
