We introduce a small slit into a planar domain and study the resulting effect upon the eigenvalues of the Laplacian. In particular, we show that as the length of the slit tends to zero, each real-analytic eigenvalue branch tends to an eigenvalue of the original domain. By combining this with our earlier work (arXiv:math/0703616), we obtain the following application: The generic multiply connected polygon has simple spectrum.
This paper is devoted to multi-parameter eigenvalue problems for perturbed $p$-Laplacians, modelling travelling waves for a class of non-linear evolution PDE. Dispersion relations between the eigen-para-meters, the existence of eigenvectors and positive eigenvectors, variational principles for eigenvalues of perturbed $p$-Laplacians and constructing analytical solutions are the main subject of this paper. Besides the $p$-Laplacian-like eigenvalue problems we also deal with new and non-standard eigenvalue problems, which can not be solved by the methods used in nonlinear eigenvalue problems for…
We study the dependence of the first eigenvalue of the Finsler $p$-Laplacian and the corresponding eigenfunctions upon perturbation of the domain and we generalize a few results known for the standard $p$-Laplacian. In particular, we prove a Frechét differentiability result for the eigenvalues, we compute the corresponding Hadamard formulas and we prove a continuity result for the eigenfunctions. Finally, we briefly discuss a well-known overdetermined problem and we show how to deduce the Rellich-Pohozaev identity for the Finsler $p$-Laplacian from the Hadamard formula.
We deal with eigenvalue problems for the Laplacian with varying mixed boundary conditions, consisting in homogeneous Neumann conditions on a vanishing portion of the boundary and Dirichlet conditions on the complement. By the study of an Almgren type frequency function, we derive upper and lower bounds of the eigenvalue variation and sharp estimates in the case of a strictly star-shaped Neumann region.
The first terms of the small volume asymptotic expansion for the splitting of Neumann boundary condition Laplacian eigenvalues due to a grounded inclusion of size ε are derived. An explicit formula to compute the first term from the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the unperturbed domain, the inclusion size and position is given. As a consequence, when an eigenvalue of double multiplicity splits in two distinct eigenvalues, one decays like O(1/log(ε)), the other like O(ε^2).
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 $-Δ_{Θ, Ω}$ in $L^2(Ω; d^n x)$ with (nonlocal and local) Robin-type boundary conditions on bounded Lipschitz domains $Ω\subset\bbR^n$, $n\in\bbN$, $n\geq 2$. Second, we extend Friedlander's inequalities between Neumann and Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalues to those between nonlocal Robin and Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalues associated with bounded Lipschitz domains $Ω$, following an approach introduced by Filonov for this type of problems.

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$^{++}$-eigenvalue, but has several other H$^+$-eigenvalues. We identify their largest and smallest H$^+$-eigenvalues, and establish some maximum and minimum properties of these H$^+$-eigenvalues. We t…
We study the eigenvalue problem for the $p$-Laplacian on Kähler manifolds. Our first result is a lower bound for the first nonzero eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian on compact Kähler manifolds in terms of dimension, diameter, and lower bounds of holomorphic sectional curvature and orthogonal Ricci curvature for $p\in (1, 2]$. Our second result is a sharp lower bound for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian on compact Kähler manifolds with smooth boundary for $p\in (1, \infty)$. Our results generalize corresponding results for the Laplace eigenvalues on Kähler manifolds proved in […
We prove that the optimal cluster problem for the sum of the first Robin eigenvalue of the Laplacian, in the limit of a large number of convex cells, is asymptotically solved by (the Cheeger sets of) the honeycomb of regular hexagons. The same result is established for the Robin torsional rigidity.
In this paper we prove an asymptotic behavior for the radial eigenvalues to the Dirichlet $p$-Laplacian problem $-Δ_p\,u = λ\,|u|^{p-2}u$ in $Ω$, $u=0$ on $\partialΩ$, where $Ω$ is an annular domain $Ω=Ω_{R,\overline{R}}$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$.
In this paper, we show that the largest Laplacian H-eigenvalue of a $k$-uniform nontrivial hypergraph is strictly larger than the maximum degree when $k$ is even. A tight lower bound for this eigenvalue is given. For a connected even-uniform hypergraph, this lower bound is achieved if and only if it is a hyperstar. However, when $k$ is odd, it happens that the largest Laplacian H-eigenvalue is equal to the maximum degree, which is a tight lower bound. On the other hand, tight upper and lower bounds for the largest signless Laplacian H-eigenvalue of a $k$-uniform connected hypergraph are given.…
We establish lower bound for the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a closed Kähler manifold in terms of dimension, diameter, and lower bounds of holomorphic sectional curvature and orthogonal Ricci curvature. On compact Kähler manifolds with boundary, we prove lower bounds for the first nonzero Neumann or Dirichlet eigenvalue in terms of geometric data. Our results are Kähler analogues of well-known results for Riemannian manifolds.
We review some recent results on eigenvalues of fractional Laplacians and fractional Schrödinger operators. We discuss, in particular, Lieb-Thirring inequalities and their generalizations, as well as semi-classical asymptotics.
The mixed principal eigenvalue of $p\,$-Laplacian (equivalently, the optimal constant of weighted Hardy inequality in $L^p$ space) is studied in this paper. Several variational formulas for the eigenvalue are presented. As applications of the formulas, a criterion for the positivity of the eigenvalue is obtained. Furthermore, an approximating procedure and some explicit estimates are presented case by case. An example is included to illustrate the power of the results of the paper.
We study the Robin eigenvalue problem for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on Riemannian manifolds. Our first result is a comparison theorem for the second Robin eigenvalue on geodesic balls in manifolds whose sectional curvatures are bounded from above. Our second result asserts that geodesic balls in nonpositively curved space forms maximize the second Robin eigenvalue among bounded domains of the same volume.
In this paper, we obtain a comparison of Steklov eigenvalues and Laplacian eigenvalues on graphs and discuss its rigidity. As applications of the comparison of eigenvalues, we obtain Lichnerowicz-type estimates and some combinatorial estimates for Steklov eigenvalues on graphs.
This paper is devoted to a dispersion analysis of a class of perturbed p-Laplacians. Besides the p-Laplacian-like eigenvalue problems we also deal with new and non-standard eigenvalue problems, which can not be solved by the methods used in nonlinear eigenvalue problems for p-Laplacians and similar operators. Original techniques are suggested for solving these new problems (see Section 3). In addition, dispersion relations between the eigen-parameters, quantitative analysis of eigenvectors and variational principles for eigenvalues of perturbed p-Laplacians are also studied in this paper. The …
Translationnally invariant bidimensional magnetic Laplacians are considered. Using an improved version of the harmonic approximation, we establish the absence of point spectrum under various assumptions on the behavior of the magnetic field.
We show that zero is not an eigenvalue of the conformal Laplacian for generic Riemannian metrics. We also discuss non-compactness for sequences of metrics with growing number of negative eigenvalues of the conformal Laplacian.
Inequalities for the eigenvalues of the (negative) Laplacian subject to mixed boundary conditions on polyhedral and more general bounded domains are established. The eigenvalues subject to a Dirichlet boundary condition on a part of the boundary and a Neumann boundary condition on the remainder of the boundary are estimated in terms of either Dirichlet or Neumann eigenvalues. The results complement several classical inequalities between Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues due to Pólya, Payne, Levine and Weinberger, Friedlander, and others.
We prove various estimates for the first eigenvalue of the magnetic Dirichlet Laplacian on a bounded domain in two dimensions. When the magnetic field is constant, we give lower and upper bounds in terms of geometric quantities of the domain. We furthermore prove a lower bound for the first magnetic Neumann eigenvalue in the case of constant field.
The spectral theory of Laplacian tensor is an important tool for revealing some important properties of a hypergraph. It is meaningful to compute all Laplacian H-eigenvalues for some special $k$-uniform hypergraphs. For an odd-uniform loose path of length three, the Laplacian H-spectrum has been studied. However, all Laplacian H-eigenvalues of the class of loose paths have not been found out. In this paper, we compute all Laplacian H-eigenvalues for the class of loose paths. We show that the number of Laplacian H-eigenvalues of an odd(even)-uniform loose path with length three is $7$($14$). So…
We revisit an interesting example proposed by Maria Hoffmann-Ostenhof, the second author and Nikolai Nadirashvili of a bounded domain in R2 for which the second eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian has multiplicity three. We also analyze carefully the first eigenvalues of the Laplacian in the case of the disk with two symmetric cracks placed on a smaller concentric disk in function of their size.
The eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian on bounded, planar, convex domains with mixed boundary conditions is considered, where a Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed on a part of the boundary and a Neumann boundary condition on its complement. Given two different such choices of boundary conditions for the same domain, we prove inequalities between their lowest eigenvalues. As a special case, we prove parts of a conjecture on the order of mixed eigenvalues of triangles.
This paper is about a shape optimization problem related to the Dirichlet Laplacian eingevalues in the Euclidean plane. More precisely we study the shape of the minimizer in the class of open sets of constant width. We prove that the disk is not a local minimizer except for a limited number of eigenvalues.
We present asymptotically sharp inequalities, containing a second term, for the Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a domain, which are complementary to the familiar Berezin-Li-Yau and Kröger inequalities in the limit as the eigenvalues tend to infinity. We accomplish this in the framework of the Riesz mean $R_1(z)$ of the eigenvalues by applying the averaged variational principle with families of test functions that have been corrected for boundary behaviour.

Let $G$ be a connected undirected graph with $n$, $n\ge 3$, vertices and $m$ edges. Denote by $ρ_1 \ge ρ_2 \ge \cdots > ρ_n =0$ the normalized Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$. Upper and lower bounds of $ρ_i$, $i=1,2,\ldots , n-1$, are determined in terms of $n$ and general Randi\' c index, $R_{-1}$.
In this paper, we show that the eigenvectors of the zero Laplacian and signless Lapacian eigenvalues of a $k$-uniform hypergraph are closely related to some configured components of that hypergraph. We show that the components of an eigenvector of the zero Laplacian or signless Lapacian eigenvalue have the same modulus. Moreover, under a {\em canonical} regularization, the phases of the components of these eigenvectors only can take some uniformly distributed values in $\{\{exp}(\frac{2jπ}{k})\;|\;j\in [k]\}$. These eigenvectors are divided into H-eigenvectors and N-eigenvectors. Eigenvectors …
The purpose of the paper is to present quantitative estimates for the principal eigenvalue of discrete p-Laplacian on the set of rooted trees. Alternatively, it is studying the optimal constant of a class of weighted Hardy inequality. Three kinds of variational formulas in different formulation for the mixed principal eigenvalue of p-Laplacian on the set of trees with unique root as Dirichlet boundary are presented. As their applications, we obtain a basic estimate of the eigenvalue on trees.
We consider the lower order eigenvalues of poly-Laplacian with any order on spherical domains. We obtain universal inequalities for them and show that our results are optimal.
We prove upper bounds for sub-Laplacian eigenvalues independent of a pseudo-Hermitian structure on a CR manifold. These bounds are compatible with the Menikoff-Sjoestrand asymptotic law, and can be viewed as a CR version of Korevaar's bounds for Laplace eigenvalues of conformal metrics.
In this paper, we settle in the affirmative the Jakobson-Levitin-Nadirashvili-Nigam-Polterovich conjecture, stating that a certain singular metric on the Bolza surface, with area normalized, should maximize the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian.
We define the distance between edges of graphs and study the coarse Ricci curvature on edges. We consider the Laplacian on edges based on the Jost-Horak's definition of the Laplacian on simplicial complexes. As one of our main results, we obtain an estimate of the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian by the Ricci curvature for a regular graph.
In this paper we study in detail some spectral properties of the magnetic discrete Laplacian. We identify its form-domain, characterize the absence of essential spectrum and provide the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution.
We study eigenvalue problems for intrinsic sub-Laplacians on regular sub-Riemannian manifolds. We prove upper bounds for sub-Laplacian eigenvalues $λ_k$ of conformal sub-Riemannian metrics that are asymptotically sharp as $k\to +\infty$. For Sasakian manifolds with a lower Ricci curvature bound, and more generally, for contact metric manifolds conformal to such Sasakian manifolds, we obtain eigenvalue inequalities that can be viewed as versions of the classical results by Korevaar and Buser in Riemannian geometry.
We apply eigenvalue interlacing techniques for obtaining lower and upper bounds for the sums of Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs, and characterize equality. This leads to generalizations of, and variations on theorems by Grone, and Grone and Merris. As a consequence we obtain inequalities involving bounds for some well-known parameters of a graph, such as edge-connectivity, and the isoperimetric number.
We derive upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Kirchhoff Laplacian on a compact metric graph depending on the graph's genus g. These bounds can be further improved if $g = 0$, i.e. if the metric graph is planar. Our results are based on a spectral correspondence between the Kirchhoff Laplacian and a particular a certain combinatorial weighted Laplacian. In order to take advantage of this correspondence, we also prove new estimates for the eigenvalues of the weighted combinatorial Laplacians that were previously known only in the weighted case.
We study multiplicity of the eigenvalues of the Hodge Laplacian on smooth, compact Riemannian manifolds of dimension five for generic families of metrics. We prove that generically the Hodge Laplacian, restricted to the subspace of co-exact two-forms, has nonzero eigenvalues of multiplicity two. The proof is based on the fact that Hodge Laplacian restricted to the subspace of co-exact two-forms is minus the square of the Beltrami operator, a first-order operator. We prove that for generic metrics the spectrum of the Beltrami operator is simple. Because the Beltrami operator in this setting is …
We prove that in Riemannian manifolds the $k$-th Steklov eigenvalue on a domain and the square root of the $k$-th Laplacian eigenvalue on its boundary can be mutually controlled in terms of the maximum principal curvature of the boundary under sectional curvature conditions. As an application, we derive a Weyl-type upper bound for Steklov eigenvalues. A Pohozaev-type identity for harmonic functions on the domain and the min-max variational characterization of both eigenvalues are important ingredients.
In this paper, we study eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of $p$-Laplacians with Dirichlet boundary condition on graphs. We characterize the first eigenfunction (and the maximum eigenfunction for a bipartite graph) via the sign condition. By the uniqueness of the first eigenfunction of $p$-Laplacian, as $p\to 1,$ we identify the Cheeger constant of a symmetric graph with that of the quotient graph. By this approach, we calculate various Cheeger constants of spherically symmetric graphs.
We propose a method to efficiently estimate the Laplacian eigenvalues of an arbitrary, unknown network of interacting dynamical agents. The inputs to our estimation algorithm are measurements about the evolution of a collection of agents (potentially one) during a finite time horizon; notably, we do not require knowledge of which agents are contributing to our measurements. We propose a scalable algorithm to exactly recover a subset of the Laplacian eigenvalues from these measurements. These eigenvalues correspond directly to those Laplacian modes that are observable from our measurements. We …
We extend the results given by Colbois, Dryden and El Soufi on the relationships between the eigenvalues of the Laplacian and an extrinsic invariant called intersection index, in two directions. First, we replace this intersection index by invariants of the same nature which are stable under small perturbations. Second, we consider complex submanifolds of the complex projective space $\mathbb{C} P^N$ instead of submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}^N$ and we obtain an eigenvalue upper bound depending only on the dimension of the submanifold which is sharp for the first non-zero eigenvalue.
By introducing a weight function to the Laplace operator, Bakry and Émery defined the "drift Laplacian" to study diffusion processes. Our first main result is that, given a Bakry-Émery manifold, there is a naturally associated family of graphs whose eigenvalues converge to the eigenvalues of the drift Laplacian as the graphs collapse to the manifold. Applications of this result include a new relationship between Dirichlet eigenvalues of domains in $\R^n$ and Neumann eigenvalues of domains in $\R^{n+1}$ and a new maximum principle. Using our main result and maximum principle, we are able to gen…
We apply Gromov's ham sandwich method to get (1) domain monotonicity (up to a multiplicative constant factor); (2) reverse domain monotonicity (up to a multiplicative constant factor); and (3) universal inequalities for Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian on bounded convex domains in a Euclidean space.
Upper and lower estimates of eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a metric graph have been established in 2017 by G. Berkolaiko, J.B. Kennedy, P. Kurasov and D. Mugnolo. Both these estimates can be achieved at the same time only by highly degenerate eigenvalues which we call maximally degenerate. By comparison with the maximal eigenvalue multiplicity proved by I. Kac and V. Pivovarchik in 2011 we characterize the family of graphs exhibiting maximally degenerate eigenvalues which we call lasso trees, namely graphs constructed from trees by attaching lasso graphs to some of the vertices.
For a self--adjoint Laplace operator on a finite, not necessarily compact, metric graph lower and upper bounds on each of the negative eigenvalues are derived. For compact finite metric graphs Poincaré type inequalities are given.
We determine accurate asymptotics for the low-lying eigenvalues of the Robin Laplacian when the Robin parameter goes to $-\infty$. The two first terms in the expansion have been obtained by K. Pankrashkin in the $2D$-case and by K. Pankrashkin and N. Popoff in higher dimensions. The asymptotics display the influence of the scalar curvature and the splitting between every two consecutive eigenvalues. The analysis is based on the approach developed by Fournais-Helffer for the semi-classical magnetic Laplacian. We also propose a WKB construction as a candidate for the ground state energy.
We prove sharp criteria on the behavior of radial curvature for the existence of asymptotically flat or hyperbolic Riemannian manifolds with prescribed sets of eigenvalues embedded in the spectrum of the Laplacian. In particular, we construct such manifolds with dense embedded point spectrum and sharp curvature bounds.
