Bound states of a converging quantum waveguide

Giuseppe Cardone, Sergei A. Nazarov, Keijo Ruotsalainen (2013)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We consider a two-dimensional quantum waveguide composed of two semi-strips of width 1 and 1 − ε, where ε > 0 is a small real parameter, i.e. the waveguide is gently converging. The width of the junction zone for the semi-strips is 1 + O(√ε). We will present a sufficient condition for the existence of a weakly coupled bound state below π2, the lower bound of the continuous spectrum. This eigenvalue in the discrete spectrum is unique and its asymptotics is constructed and justified when ε → 0+....

Boundary eigencurve problems involving the biharmonic operator

Omar Chakrone, Najib Tsouli, Mostafa Rahmani, Omar Darhouche (2014)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The aim of this paper is to study the spectrum of the fourth order eigenvalue boundary value problem ⎧Δ²u = αu + βΔu in Ω, ⎨ ⎩u = Δu = 0 on ∂Ω. where (α,β) ∈ ℝ². We prove the existence of a first nontrivial curve of this spectrum and we give its variational characterization. Moreover we prove some properties of this curve, e.g., continuity, convexity, and asymptotic behavior. As an application, we study the non-resonance of solutions below...

Bounds for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of triangles and quadrilaterals

Pedro Freitas, Batłomiej Siudeja (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We prove some new upper and lower bounds for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of triangles and quadrilaterals. In particular, we improve Pólya and Szegö's [Annals of Mathematical Studies 27 (1951)] lower bound for quadrilaterals and extend Hersch's [Z. Angew. Math. Phys. 17 (1966) 457–460] upper bound for parallelograms to general quadrilaterals.
