Abstract

The paper is concerned with the Dirichlet spectrum $Λ^{a,b}_p(0,L)$ of the anisotropic $p$-Laplace operator $- Δ^{a,b}_{p}$ on an interval $(0,L)$ where \[ Δ^{a,b}_p u:= \left(a^{p}[(u')^{+}]^{p-1}-b^{p}[(u')^{-}]^{p-1}\right)', \ \ a, b > 0. \] The set $Λ^{a,b}_p(0,L)$ and the respective eigenfunctions are completely characterized for $a \neq b$ in terms of the corresponding ones within the isotropic context. As an interesting application, we derive a new optimal Poincaré inequality that is stronger than the classical counterpart. The leading ideas are based on glue arguments of conveniently modified eigenfunctions and maximum type principles. More generally, our approach allows to characterize the Fu\v cík spectrum $Σ^{a,b}_p(0,L)$ of $- Δ^{a,b}_{p}$ on $(0,L)$ and mainly the corresponding solutions. All results are novelty even for the nonlinear operator $Δ^{a,b}_2$.

The exterior Steklov problem for Euclidean domains

We investigate the Steklov eigenvalue problem in an exterior Euclidean domain. First, we present several formulations of this problem and establish the equivalences between them. Next, we examine various properties of the exterior Steklov eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. One of our main findings is an Escobar-type lower bound for the first exterior Steklov eigenvalue on convex domains in dimensions three and higher. This bound is expressed in terms of the principal curvatures of the boundary and is sharp, with equality attained for a ball. Moreover, it implies the existence of a sequence of convex domains with fixed volume and the first exterior Steklov eigenvalues tending to infinity. This contrasts with the interior case, as well as with the two-dimensional exterior case, for which we show that an analogue of the Weinstock isoperimetric inequality holds.

Neumann eigenvalues of isosceles triangles: monotonicity and asymptotics

We prove Laugesen and Siudeja's conjecture on Neumann eigenvalues of isosceles triangles. After multiplication by the squared diameter, the first positive symmetric eigenvalue increases strictly with the apex angle $θ$, while the first antisymmetric eigenvalue decreases strictly up to the equilateral triangle and increases strictly thereafter. \rev{The proof combines a slice-average estimate of directional energies with the explicit equilateral eigenfunction.} A quadratic correction across slices also gives a two-term expansion for every fixed positive spectral index $k$ as $θ\downarrow0$, with relative correction $θ^2/6$ and remainder $O_k(θ^4)$.

Hadamard-type formulas for real eigenvalues of canonically symplectic operators

We give first-order asymptotic expansions for the resolvent and Hadamard-type formulas for the eigenvalue curves of one-parameter families of canonically symplectic operators. We allow for parameter dependence in the boundary conditions, bounded perturbations and trace operators associated with each off-diagonal operator, and give formulas for derivatives of eigenvalue curves emanating from the discrete eigenvalue of the unperturbed operator in terms of Maslov crossing forms. We derive the Hadamard-type formulas using two different methods: via a symplectic resolvent difference formula and asymptotic expansions of the resolvent, and using Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and the implicit function theorem. The latter approach facilitates derivative formulas when the eigenvalue curves are viewed as functions of the spectral parameter. We apply our abstract results to derive a spectral index theorem for the linearised operator associated with a standing wave in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a compact star graph.
