Extrema of Low Eigenvalues of the Dirichlet–neumann Laplacian on a Disk
نویسنده
چکیده
We study extrema of the first and the second mixed eigenvalues of the Laplacian on the disk among some families of Dirichlet–Neumann boundary conditions. We show that the minimizer of the second eigenvalue among all mixed boundary conditions lies in a compact 1–parameter family for which an explicit description is given. Moreover, we prove that among all partitions of the boundary with bounded number of parts on which Dirichlet and Neumann conditions are imposed alternately, the first eigenvalue is maximized by the uniformly distributed partition.

Sums of Laplace Eigenvalues — Rotationally Symmetric Maximizers in the Plane
The sum of the first n ≥ 1 eigenvalues of the Laplacian is shown to be maximal among triangles for the equilateral triangle, maximal among parallelograms for the square, and maximal among ellipses for the disk, provided the ratio (area)/(moment of inertia) for the domain is fixed. This result holds for both Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues, and similar conclusions are derived for Robin boundar...
متن کاملON THE SPECTRUM OF THE DIRICHLET LAPLACIAN IN A NARROW STRIP, by Leonid Friedlander and Michael Solomyak
There are several reasons why the study of the spectrum of the Laplacian in a narrow neighborhood of an embedded graph is interesting. The graph can be embedded into a Euclidean space or it can be embedded into a manifold. In his pioneering work [3], Colin de Verdière used Riemannian metrics concentrated in a small neighborhood of a graph to prove that for every manifold M of dimension greater ...
متن کاملFriedlander’s Eigenvalue Inequalities and the Dirichlet-to-neumann Semigroup
If Ω is any compact Lipschitz domain, possibly in a Riemannian manifold, with boundary Γ = ∂Ω, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator Dλ is defined on L2(Γ) for any real λ. We prove a close relationship between the eigenvalues of Dλ and those of the Robin Laplacian ∆μ, i.e. the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions ∂νu = μu. This is used to give another proof of the Friedlander inequalities betwe...
متن کاملNonlocal Robin Laplacians and Some Remarks on a Paper by Filonov
The aim of this paper is twofold: First, we characterize an essentially optimal class of boundary operators Θ which give rise to self-adjoint Laplacians −∆Θ,Ω in L (Ω; dx) with (nonlocal and local) Robin-type boundary conditions on bounded Lipschitz domains Ω ⊂ R, n ∈ N, n ≥ 2. Second, we extend Friedlander’s inequalities between Neumann and Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalues to those between nonl...
متن کاملMAXIMIZATION OF EIGENVALUES OF ONE-DIMENSIONAL p-LAPLACIAN WITH INTEGRABLE POTENTIALS
In this paper we will use variational methods and limiting approaches to give a complete solution to the maximization problems of the Dirichlet/Neumann eigenvalues of the one-dimensional p-Laplacian with integrable potentials of fixed L 1-norm.
