چکیده

We discuss the behavior of the minimal eigenvalue λ of the Dirichlet Laplacian in the domainD1\D2 := D (an annulus) whereD1 is a circular disc andD2 ⊂ D1 is a smaller circular disc. It is conjectured that the minimal eigenvalue λ has a maximum value when D2 is a concentric disc. If h is a displacement of the center of the disc D2 and λ(h) is the corresponding minimal eigenvalue, then dλ(h) dh < 0 so that λ(h) is minimal when ∂D2 touches ∂D1, where ∂D is the boundary of D. Numerical results are given to back the conjecture. Upper and lower bounds are given for λ(h). The above conjecture is proved.

More inequalities for Laplacian indices by way of majorization

The n-tuple of Laplacian characteristic values of a graph is majorized by the conjugate sequence of its degrees. Using that result we find a collection of general inequalities for a number of Laplacian indices expressed in terms of the conjugate degrees, and then with a maximality argument, we find tight general bounds expressed in terms of the size of the vertex set n and the average degree dG...

Evolution of the first eigenvalue of buckling problem on Riemannian manifold under Ricci flow

Among the eigenvalue problems of the Laplacian, the biharmonic operator eigenvalue problems are interesting projects because these problems root in physics and geometric analysis. The buckling problem is one of the most important problems in physics, and many studies have been done by the researchers about the solution and the estimate of its eigenvalue. In this paper, first, we obtain the evol...

On Complementary Distance Signless Laplacian Spectral Radius and Energy of Graphs

Let $D$ be a diameter and $d_G(v_i, v_j)$ be the distance between the vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ of a connected graph $G$. The complementary distance signless Laplacian matrix of a graph $G$ is $CDL^+(G)=[c_{ij}]$ in which $c_{ij}=1+D-d_G(v_i, v_j)$ if $ineq j$ and $c_{ii}=sum_{j=1}^{n}(1+D-d_G(v_i, v_j))$. The complementary transmission $CT_G(v)$ of a vertex $v$ is defined as $CT_G(v)=sum_{u in ...

POSITIVE SOLUTIONS AND MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS AT NON-RESONANCE, RESONANCE AND NEAR RESONANCE FOR HEMIVARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES WITH p-LAPLACIAN

In this paper we study eigenvalue problems for hemivariational inequalities driven by the p-Laplacian differential operator. We prove the existence of positive smooth solutions for both non-resonant and resonant problems at the principal eigenvalue of the negative p-Laplacian with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. We also examine problems which are near resonance both from the left and ...
