Tunneling for the Robin Laplacian in smooth planar domains
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the low-lying eigenvalues of the semiclassical Robin Laplacian in a smooth planar domain with bounded boundary which is symmetric with respect to an axis. In the case when the curvature of the boundary of the domain attains its maximum at exactly two points away from the axis of symmetry, we establish an explicit asymptotic formula for the splitting of the first two eigenvalues. This is a rigorous derivation of the semiclassical tunneling effect induced by the domain’s geometry. Our approach is close to the Born-Oppenheimer one and yields, as a byproduct, a Weyl formula of independent interest.

There exists a planar domain with piecewise smooth boundary and one hole such that the second eigenfunction for the Laplacian with Neumann boundary conditions attains its maximum and minimum inside the domain.

We study the Robin Laplacian in a domain with two corners of the same opening, and we calculate the asymptotics of the two lowest eigenvalues as the distance between the corners increases to infinity.
متن کاملFault Detection and Isolation of Multi-Agent Systems via Complex Laplacian
This paper studies the problem of fault detection and isolation (FDI) for multi-agent systems (MAS) via complex Laplacian subject to actuator faults. A planar formation of point agents in the plane using simple and linear interaction rules related to complex Laplacian is achieved. The communication network is a directed, and yet connected graph with a fixed topology. The loss of symmetry in the...

A collocation method with the modified equilibrium on line method (ELM) forimposition of Neumann and Robin boundary conditions is presented for solving the two-dimensionalacoustical problems. In the modified ELM, the governing equations are integrated over the lines onthe Neumann (Robin) boundary instead of the Neumann (Robin) boundary condition equations. Inother words, integration domains are...
متن کاملOn Optimal Estimates for the Laplace-Leray Commutator in Planar Domains with Corners
For smooth domains, Liu et al. (Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 60: 1443-1487, 2007) used optimal estimates for the commutator of the Laplacian and the Leray projection operator to establish well-posedness of an extended Navier-Stokes dynamics. In their work, the pressure is not determined by incompressibility, but rather by a certain formula involving the Laplace-Leray commutator. A key estimate of Liu...
