This paper analyses an adaptive nonconforming finite element method for eigenvalue clusters of self-adjoint operators and proves optimal convergence rates (with respect to the concept of nonlinear approximation classes) for the approximation of the invariant subspace spanned by the eigenfunctions of the eigenvalue cluster. Applications include eigenvalues of the Laplacian and of the Stokes system.

Model two-dimensional singular perturbed eigenvalue problem for Laplacian with frequently alternating type of boundary condition is considered. Complete two-parametrical asymptotics for the eigenelements are constructed.

We propose a simple and natural definition for the Laplacian and the signless Laplacian tensors of a uniform hypergraph. We study their H-eigenvalues, i.e., H-eigenvalues with nonnegative H-eigenvectors, and H-eigenvalues, i.e., H-eigenvalues with positive H-eigenvectors. We show that each of the Laplacian tensor, the signless Laplacian tensor, and the adjacency tensor has at most one H-eigenva...

This paper studies a generalization of the standard continuous-time consensus protocol, obtained by replacing the Laplacian matrix of the communication graph with the so-called deformed Laplacian. The deformed Laplacian is a second-degree matrix polynomial in the real variable s which reduces to the standard Laplacian for s equal to unity. The stability properties of the ensuing deformed consen...

We show that nonconstant eigenfunctions of the p-Laplacian do not necessarily have an average value of 0, as they must when p = 2. This fact has implications for deriving a sharp variational characterization of the second eigenvalue for a general class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems.
