Two functionals connected to the Laplacian in a class of doubly connected domains on rank one symmetric spaces of non-compact type

Let B ₁ be a ball in a non-compact rank-one symmetric space and let B ₀ be a smaller ball inside it. It is shown that if y is the solution of the problem ?Δu = 1 in ${B_1 \setminus \bar{B_0}}$ vanishing on the boundary, then the Dirichlet-energy of y is minimal if and only if the balls are concentric. It is also shown that the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian on ${B_1 \setminus \bar{B_0}}$ is maximal if and only if the two balls are concentric. The formalism of Damek-Ricci harmonic spaces is used.     

Eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian for simply connected bounded domains

This paper is devoted to asymptotic formulae for functions related with the spectrum of the negative Laplacian in two and three dimensional bounded simply connected domains with impedance boundary conditions, where the impedances are assumed to be discontinuous functions. Moreover, asymptotic expressions for the difference of eigenvalues related to the impedance problems with different impedances are derived. Further results may be obtained.     

On the number of Laplacian eigenvalues of trees less than the average degree

Laplacian eigenvalues of trees have been studied by many researchers. They are closely related to the diameter, domination number, matching number and Laplacian energy of trees. The goal of this paper is to prove a conjecture on the number of Laplacian eigenvalues of trees that are less than the average degree.     

On the Laplacian Eigenvalues of Signed Graphs

A signed graph is a graph with a sign attached to each edge. This article extends some fundamental concepts of the Laplacian matrices from graphs to signed graphs. In particular, the largest Laplacian eigenvalue of a signed graph is investigated, which generalizes the corresponding results on the largest Laplacian eigenvalue of a graph.     

Some upper bounds for sums of eigenvalues of the Neumann Laplacian

Let be the th Neumann eigenvalue of a bounded domain with piecewisely smooth boundary in . In 1992, P. Kröger proved that , where the upper bound is sharp in view of Weyl's asymptotic formula. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we will improve this estimate by multiplying a factor in terms of to its right-hand side which approaches strictly from below to 1 as tends to infinity. Second, we will generalize Kröger's estimate to the case when is a compact Euclidean submanifold.

     

An eigenvalue bound for the Laplacian of a graph

We present a lower bound for the smallest non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian of an undirected graph. The bound is primarily useful for graphs with small diameter.     

Conformal upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Laplacian and Steklov problem

In this paper, we find upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Laplacian in the conformal class of a compact Riemannian manifold (M,g). These upper bounds depend only on the dimension and a conformal invariant that we call “min-conformal volume”. Asymptotically, these bounds are consistent with the Weyl law and improve previous results by Korevaar and Yang and Yau. The proof relies on the construction of a suitable family of disjoint domains providing supports for a family of test functions. This method is interesting for itself and powerful. As a further application of the method we obtain an upper bound for the eigenvalues of the Steklov problem in a domain with C¹ boundary in a complete Riemannian manifold in terms of the isoperimetric ratio of the domain and the conformal invariant that we introduce.

On the lowest eigenvalue of the Hodge Laplacian on compact,negatively curved domains

We study the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian acting on differential forms on a compact Riemannian domain, for the absolute or relative boundary conditions. We prove a series of lower bounds when the domain is starlike or p-convex and the ambient manifold has pinched negative curvature. The bounds are sharp for starlike domains. We then compute the asymptotics of the first eigenvalue of hyperbolic balls of large radius. Finally, we give lower bounds also for Euclidean domains.

Bounds to eigenvalues of the Laplacian on L-shaped domain by variational methods

In this study, the bounds for eigenvalues of the Laplacian operator on an L-shaped domain are determined. By adopting some special functions in Goerisch method for lower bounds and in traditional Rayleigh–Ritz method for upper bounds, very accurate bounds to eigenvalues for the problem are obtained. Numerical results show that these functions can also be successfully used to solve the problem on the region with other reentrant angle.

Multiple solutions for a Robin‐type differential inclusion problem involving the p(x)‐Laplacian

In this paper, we obtain the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions for a Robin‐type differential inclusion problem involving p(x)‐Laplacian type operator and nonsmooth potentials. Our approach is variational, and it is based on the nonsmooth critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functions. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
