Lyapunov Inequalities for Neumann Boundary Conditions at Higher Eigenvalues

چکیده
This paper is devoted to the study of Lyapunov-type inequality for Neumann boundary conditions at higher eigenvalues. Our main result is derived from a detailed analysis about the number and distribution of zeros of nontrivial solutions and their first derivatives, together with the use of suitable minimization problems. This method of proof allows to obtain new information on Lyapunov constants. For instance, we prove that as in the classical result by Lyapunov, the best constant is not attained. Additionally, we exploit the relation between Neumann boundary conditions and disfocality to provide new nonresonance conditions at higher eigenvalues.

Friedlander’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 کاملLeft-Definite Sturm-Liouville Problems
Left-definite regular self-adjoint Sturm-Liouville problems with separated and coupled boundary conditions are studied. A characterization is given in terms of right-definite problems, a concrete and “natural” indexing scheme for the eigenvalues is proposed. Pruefer transformation techniques can be used to establish the existence of and to give a characterization for the eigenvalues in the case...
متن کاملExtension of Higher Order Derivatives of Lyapunov Functions in Stability Analysis of Nonlinear Systems
The Lyapunov stability method is the most popular and applicable stability analysis tool of nonlinear dynamic systems. However, there are some bottlenecks in the Lyapunov method, such as need for negative definiteness of the Lyapunov function derivative in the direction of the system’s solutions. In this paper, we develop a new theorem to dispense the need for negative definite-ness of Lyapunov...
متن کاملAsymptotic distributions of Neumann problem for Sturm-Liouville equation
In this paper we apply the Homotopy perturbation method to derive the higher-order asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions associated with the linear real second order equation of Sturm-liouville type on $[0,pi]$ with Neumann conditions $(y'(0)=y'(pi)=0)$ where $q$ is a real-valued Sign-indefinite number of $C^{1}[0,pi]$ and $lambda$ is a real parameter.
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...
