Bounds on eigenvalues of Dirichlet Laplacian

In this paper, we investigate an eigenvalue problem of Dirichlet Laplacian on a bounded domain Ω in an n-dimensional Euclidean space R ⁿ . If λ _k+1 is the (k + 1)th eigenvalue of Dirichlet Laplacian on Ω, then, we prove that, for n ≥ 41 and and, for any n and with , where j _p,k denotes the k-th positive zero of the standard Bessel function J _p (x) of the first kind of order p. From the asymptotic formula of Weyl and the partial solution of the conjecture of Pólya, we know that our estimates are optimal in the sense of order of k.Q.-M.

Bounds for ratios of the membrane eigenvalues

For a bounded planar region in R², we obtain the ratios of lower order eigenvalues of Laplace operator. Combining our results with the recursive formula in Cheng and Yang (2007) [11], we can obtain better upper bound of the (k+1)-th (k?3) membrane eigenvalues.

Singular asymptotic expansions for Dirichlet eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on thin planar domains

We consider the Laplace operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a planar domain and study the effect that performing a scaling in one direction has on the spectrum. We derive the asymptotic expansion for the eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions as a function of the scaling parameter around zero. This method allows us, for instance, to obtain an approximation for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue for a large class of planar domains, under very mild assumptions.     

On low eigenvalues of the Laplacian with mixed boundary conditions

By means of the so-called α-symmetrization we study the eigenvalue problem for the Laplace operator with mixed boundary conditions. We obtain various bounds for combinations of the low eigenvalues and some sharp comparison results for the first eigenfunction in terms of Bessel functions.     

Estimates for eigenvalues on Riemannian manifolds

In this paper, we investigate eigenvalues of the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of Laplacian on a bounded domain Ω in an n-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold M. When M is an n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn, the conjecture of Pólya is well known: the kth eigenvalue λk of the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of Laplacian satisfies

     

Eigenvalue inequalities for the p-Laplacian on a Riemannian manifold and estimates for the heat kernel

In this paper, we successfully generalize the eigenvalue comparison theorem for the Dirichlet p  -Laplacian (1<p<∞$1<p<\infty$) obtained by Matei (2000) [19] and Takeuchi (1998) [22], respectively. Moreover, we use this generalized eigenvalue comparison theorem to get estimates for the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet p-Laplacian of geodesic balls on complete Riemannian manifolds with radial Ricci curvature bounded from below w.r.t. some point. In the rest of this paper, we derive an upper and lower bound for the heat kernel of geodesic balls of complete manifolds with specified curvature constraints, which can supply new ways to prove the most part of two generalized eigenvalue comparison results given by Freitas, Mao and Salavessa (2013) [9].     

Conformal spectral stability estimates for the Dirichlet Laplacian

We study the eigenvalue problem for the Dirichlet Laplacian in bounded simply connected plane domains by reducing it, using conformal transformations, to the weighted eigenvalue problem for the Dirichlet Laplacian in the unit disc . This allows us to estimate the variation of the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian upon domain perturbation via energy type integrals for a large class of “conformal regular” domains which includes all quasidiscs, i.e. images of the unit disc under quasiconformal homeomorphisms of the plane onto itself. Boundaries of such domains can have any Hausdorff dimension between one and two.     

Estimates for eigenvalues of the Paneitz operator

For an n  -dimensional compact submanifold Mⁿ$M^n$ in the Euclidean space R^N${\mathbf{R}}^N$, we study estimates for eigenvalues of the Paneitz operator on Mⁿ$M^n$. Our estimates for eigenvalues are sharp.     

Lower bounds for the first eigenvalue of the magnetic Laplacian

We consider a Riemannian cylinder Ω endowed with a closed potential 1-form A and study the magnetic Laplacian ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_A$ with magnetic Neumann boundary conditions associated with those data. We establish a sharp lower bound for the first eigenvalue and show that the equality characterizes the situation where the metric is a product. We then look at the case of a planar domain bounded by two closed curves and obtain an explicit lower bound in terms of the geometry of the domain. We finally discuss sharpness of this last estimate.

The Weyl-type asymptotic formula for biharmonic Steklov eigenvalues on Riemannian manifolds

Let Ω be a bounded domain with C²-smooth boundary in an n-dimensional oriented Riemannian manifold. It is well known that for the biharmonic equation Δ²u=0 in Ω with the condition u=0 on ∂Ω, there exists an infinite set {uk} of biharmonic functions in Ω with positive eigenvalues {λk} satisfying on ∂Ω. In this paper, by a new method we establish the Weyl-type asymptotic formula for the counting function of the biharmonic Steklov eigenvalues λk.

TT-eigentensors for the Lichnerowicz Laplacian on some asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with warped products metrics

Let (M =]0, ∞[×N, g) be an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold of dimension n + 1 ≥ 3, equipped with a warped product metric. We show that there exist no TT L ²-eigentensors with eigenvalue in the essential spectrum of the Lichnerowicz Laplacian Δ _L . If (M, g) is the real hyperbolic space, there is no symmetric L ²-eigentensors of Δ _L .     

Continuity of eigenvalues of subordinate processes in domains

Let X={X_t,t≥0} be a symmetric Markov process in a state space E and D an open set of E. Let S⁽ⁿ⁾={S⁽ⁿ⁾_t, t ≥ 0} be a subordinator with Laplace exponent ϕ_n and S={S_t,t≥0} a subordinator with Laplace exponent ϕ. Suppose that X is independent of S and S⁽ⁿ⁾.

On the sum of Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs

Let k be a natural number and let G be a graph with at least k vertices. Brouwer conjectured that the sum of the k largest Laplacian eigenvalues of G is at most , where e(G) is the number of edges of G. We prove this conjecture for k=2. We also show that if G is a tree, then the sum of the k largest Laplacian eigenvalues of G is at most e(G)+2k-1.     

Estimates for eigenvalues of quasilinear elliptic systems

In this paper we introduce the generalized eigenvalues of a quasilinear elliptic system of resonant type. We prove the existence of infinitely many continuous eigencurves, which are obtained by variational methods. For the one-dimensional problem, we obtain an hyperbolic type function defining a region which contains all the generalized eigenvalues (variational or not), and the proof is based on a suitable generalization of Lyapunov's inequality for systems of ordinary differential equations. We also obtain a family of curves bounding by above the kth variational eigencurve.     

Precise asymptotic of eigenvalues of resonant quasilinear systems

In this work we study the sequence of variational eigenvalues of a system of resonant type involving p- and q-Laplacians on Ω⊂RN, with a coupling term depending on two parameters α and β satisfying α/p+β/q=1. We show that the order of growth of the kth eigenvalue depends on α+β, .
