On Boundary-Value Problems for the Laplacian in Bounded Domains with Micro Inhomogeneous Structure of the Boundaries

We consider boundary-value problems with rapidly alternating types of boundary conditions. We present the classification of homogenized （limit） problems depending on the ratio of small parameters, which characterize the diameter of parts of the boundary with different types of boundary conditions. Also we study the respective spectral problem of this type.     

Heat Kernel Estimates for Schrödinger Operators on Exterior Domains with Robin Boundary Conditions

We study Schrödinger operators with Robin boundary conditions on exterior domains in ? ^d . We prove sharp point-wise estimates for the associated semigroups which show, in particular, how the boundary conditions affect the time decay of the heat kernel in dimensions one and two. Applications to spectral estimates are discussed as well.     

The Asymptotics of the Heat Semigroup for a General Bounded Domain with Mixed Boundary Conditions

Abstract Small-time asymptotics of the trace of the heat semigroup where {μ _ν } are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian in the (x ¹, x ²)-plane, is studied for a general bunded domain Ω with a smooth boundary ∂Ω, where a finite number of Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin boundary conditions, on the piecewise smooth parts Γ _i (i = 1, ..., n) of ∂Ω such that , are considered. Some geometrical properties associated with Ω are determined.     

The Laplacian with Robin Boundary Conditions on Arbitrary Domains

Using a capacity approach, we prove in this article that it is always possible to define a realization of the Laplacian on L ²() with generalized Robin boundary conditions where is an arbitrary open subset of R ⁿ and is a Borel measure on the boundary of . This operator generates a sub-Markovian C ₀-semigroup on L ²(). If d=d where is a strictly positive bounded Borel measurable function defined on the boundary and the (n–1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure on , we show that the semigroup generated by the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions has always Gaussian estimates with modified exponents. We also obtain that the spectrum of the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions in L ^p () is independent of p[1,). Our approach constitutes an alternative way to Daners who considers the (n–1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure on the boundary. In particular, it allows us to construct a conterexample disproving Daners' closability conjecture.     

The Asymptotics of the Two-Dimensional Wave Equation for a General Multi-Connected Vibrating Membrane with Piecewise Smooth Robin Boundary Conditions

The asymptotic expansion for small |t| of the trace of the wave kernel ∧↑μ(t) =∑v=1^∞exp(-it μv^1/2), where i= √-1 and {μv}v=1^∞ are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian -△=-∑β=1^2(δ/δx^β)^2 in the (x^1, x^2)-plane, is studied for a multi-connected vibrating membrane Ω in R^2 surrounded by simply connected bounded domains Ωj with smooth boundaries δΩj(j=1,...,n), where a finite number of piecewise smooth Robin boundary conditions on the piecewise smooth components Гi(i=1 κj-1,...,κj) of the boundaries δΩj are considered, such that δΩj=∪i=1 κj-1^κj Гi and κ0=0. The basic problem is to extract information on the geometry of Ω using the wave equation approach. Some geometric quantities of Ω (e.g. the area of Ω, the total lengths of its boundary, the curvature of its boundary, the number of the holes of Ω, etc.) are determined from the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the wave kernel ∧↑μ(t) for small |t|.     

Short-time Asymptotics of the Heat Kernel on Bounded Domain with Piecewise Smooth Boundary Conditions and Its Applications to an Ideal Gas

The asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel Θ(t)=sum from ∞to j=1 exp(-tλ_j) where {λ_j}_(j=1)~∞are the eigen-values of the negative Laplacian -Δ_n=-sum from n to k=1((?))~2 in R~n(n=2 or 3) is studied for short-time t for a generalbounded domain Ωwith a smooth boundary (?)Ω.In this paper,we consider the case of a finite number of theDirichlet conditions φ=0 on Γ_i (i=1,...,J) and the Neumann conditions (?)=0 on Γ_i (i=J 1,...,k) andthe Robin conditions ((?) γ_i)φ=0 on Γ_i (i=k 1,...,m) where γ_i are piecewise smooth positive impedancefunctions,such that (?)Ωconsists of a finite number of piecewise smooth components Γ_i(i=1,...,m) where(?)Ω=(?)Γ_i.We construct the required asymptotics in the form of a power series over t.The senior coefficients inthis series are specified as functionals of the geometric shape of the domain Ω.This result is applied to calculatethe one-particle partition function of a“special ideal gas”,i.e.,the set of non-interacting particles set up in abox with Dirichlet,Neumann and Robin boundary conditions for the appropriate wave function.Calculationof the thermodynamic quantities for the ideal gas such as the internal energy,pressure and specific heat revealsthat these quantities alone are incapable of distinguishing between two different shapes of the domain.Thisconclusion seems to be intuitively clear because it is based on a limited information given by a one-particlepartition function;nevertheless,its formal theoretical motivation is of some interest.     

Heat Content Asymptotics for Riemannian Manifolds with Zaremba Boundary Conditions

The existence of a full asymptotic expansion for the heat content asymptotics of an operator of Laplace type with classical Zaremba boundary conditions on a smooth manifold is established. The first three coefficients in this asymptotic expansion are determined in terms of geometric invariants; partial information is obtained about the fourth coefficient.

Heat Kernel Estimates for Operators with Boundary Conditions

We prove Gaussian upper bounds for kernels associated with non – symmetric, non – autonomous second order parabolic operators of divergence form subject to various boundary conditions. The growth of the kernel in time is determined by theboundary conditions and the geometric properties of the domain. The theory gives a unified treatment for Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin boundary conditions, and the existence of a Gaussian type bound is essentially reduced to verifying some properties of the Hilbert space in the weak formulation of the problem.     

The 3D Inverse Problem of the Wave Equation for a General Multi-connected Vibrating Membrane with a Finite Number of Piecewise Smooth Boundary Conditions

The trace of the wave kernel μ（t） =∑ω=1^∞ exp（-itEω^1/2）, where {Eω}ω^∞=1 are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian -△↓2 = -∑k^3=1 （δ/δxk）^2 in the （x^1, x^2, x^3）-space, is studied for a variety of bounded domains, where -∞ 〈 t 〈 ∞ and i= √-1. The dependence of μ （t） on the connectivity of bounded domains and the Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin boundary conditions are analyzed. Particular attention is given for a multi-connected vibrating membrane Ω in Ra surrounded by simply connected bounded domains Ω j with smooth bounding surfaces S j （j = 1,……, n）, where a finite number of piecewise smooth Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin boundary conditions on the piecewise smooth components Si^＊ （i = 1 ＋ kj-1,……, kj） of the bounding surfaces S j are considered, such that S j = Ui-1＋kj-1^kj Si^＊, where k0=0. The basic problem is to extract information on the geometry Ω by using the wave equation approach from a complete knowledge of its eigenvalues. Some geometrical quantities of Ω （e.g. the volume, the surface area, the mean curvuture and the Gaussian curvature） are determined from the asymptotic expansion ofexpansion of μ（t） for small │t│.     

Homogenization of Elliptic Problems with Quadratic Growth and Nonhomogenous Robin Conditions in Perforated Domains

This paper deals with the homogenization of a class of nonlinear elliptic problems with quadratic growth in a periodically perforated domain. The authors prescribe a Dirichlet condition on the exterior boundary and a nonhomogeneous nonlinear Robin condition on the boundary of the holes. The main difficulty, when passing to the limit, is that the solution of the problems converges neither strongly in L~2(Ω) nor almost everywhere in Ω. A new convergence result involving nonlinear functions provides suitable weak convergence results which permit passing to the limit without using any extension operator.Consequently, using a corrector result proved in [Chourabi, I. and Donato, P., Homogenization and correctors of a class of elliptic problems in perforated domains, Asymptotic Analysis, 92(1), 2015, 1–43, DOI: 10.3233/ASY-151288], the authors describe the limit problem, presenting a limit nonlinearity which is different for the two cases, that of a Neumann datum with a nonzero average and with a zero average.
