On the generic spectrum of a riemannian cover

Steven Zelditch (1990)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let M be a compact manifold let G be a finite group acting freely on M , and let G be the (Fréchet) space of G -invariant metric on M . A natural conjecture is that, for a generic metric in G , all eigenspaces of the Laplacian are irreducible (as orthogonal representations of G ). In physics terminology, no “accidental degeneracies” occur generically. We will prove this conjecture when dim M dim V for all irreducibles V of G . As an application, we construct isospectral manifolds with simple eigenvalue...

On the homogenization of the Poisson equation in partially perforated domains with arbitrary density of cavities and mixed type conditions on their boundary

Olga A. Oleinik, Tatiana A. Shaposhnikova (1996)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this paper we study the behavior of solutions of the boundary value problem for the Poisson equation in a partially perforated domain with arbitrary density of cavities and mixed type conditions on their boundary. The corresponding spectral problem is also considered. A short communication of similar results can be found in [1].

On the nodal set of the second eigenfunction of the laplacian in symmetric domains in R N

Lucio Damascelli (2000)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We present a simple proof of the fact that if Ω is a bounded domain in R N , N 2 , which is convex and symmetric with respect to k orthogonal directions, 1 k N , then the nodal sets of the eigenfunctions of the laplacian corresponding to the eigenvalues λ 2 , , λ k + 1 must intersect the boundary. This result was proved by Payne in the case N = 2 for the second eigenfunction, and by other authors in the case of convex domains in the plane, again for the second eigenfunction.

On the p-biharmonic operator with critical Sobolev exponent

Abdelouahed El Khalil, My Driss Morchid Alaoui, Abdelfattah Touzani (2014)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We study the existence of solutions for a p-biharmonic problem with a critical Sobolev exponent and Navier boundary conditions, using variational arguments. We establish the existence of a precise interval of parameters for which our problem admits a nontrivial solution.

On the principal eigencurve of the p-Laplacian related to the Sobolev trace embedding

Abdelouahed El Khalil, Mohammed Ouanan (2005)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We prove that for any λ ∈ ℝ, there is an increasing sequence of eigenvalues μₙ(λ) for the nonlinear boundary value problem ⎧ Δ u = | u | p - 2 u in Ω, ⎨ ⎩ | u | p - 2 u / ν = λ ϱ ( x ) | u | p - 2 u + μ | u | p - 2 u on crtial ∂Ω and we show that the first one μ₁(λ) is simple and isolated; we also prove some results about variations of the density ϱ and the continuity with respect to the parameter λ.

On the principal eigenvalue of elliptic operators in N and applications

Henry Berestycki, Luca Rossi (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Two generalizations of the notion of principal eigenvalue for elliptic operators in N are examined in this paper. We prove several results comparing these two eigenvalues in various settings: general operators in dimension one; self-adjoint operators; and “limit periodic” operators. These results apply to questions of existence and uniqueness for some semilinear problems in the whole space. We also indicate several outstanding open problems and formulate some conjectures.
