Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to develop a spectral perturbation theory from a higher perspective. More precisely, we consider a one-parameter family of varying bilinear forms, each of them defined on a (possibly) different Hilbert space. Assuming the stability of the corresponding spectra, our first main result establishes a quantification of the rate of convergence. A key feature is the explicit variational characterization of the first term in the asymptotic expansion of the perturbed eigenvalues, which only depends on the ``data'', i.e. the limit eigenspace and the magnitude of the perturbation, through the resolution of a minimization problem. Remarkably, we make no assumptions on the perturbed eigenelements (besides, naturally, the spectral stability). Moreover, we cover both the cases of simple and multiple limit eigenvalues in full generality. In the second part, we explore some concrete applications of our abstract results. First, we consider eigenvalue problems for the Laplace-Beltrami operator with varying measure weights (also motivated by optimization in spectral geometry); secondly, we investigate the Neumann approximation of the Steklov eigenvalues of the Laplacian; finally, we focus on how the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a Riemannian manifold changes when a second small manifold is glued on a small portion of it.

A linear test approach to global controllability of third- and fifth-order nonlinear dispersive equations

We investigate third- and fifth-order nonlinear dispersive equations of KdV type on the torus and establishes approximate controllability by a fixed four-dimensional control; rather than relying solely on the saturation machinery, the analysis exploits the finite-dimensional controllability of the inviscid Burgers equation linearized around a carefully constructed return trajectory, with the trajectory itself obtained from an observable family. This ``linear test" strategy, yields more information about the structure of the control than the standard approach. In particular, the constructed control is shown to depend continuously on the initial and target states, a property that is by no means automatic in nonlinear control problems, and to decompose as a bounded linear operator applied to the data plus a fixed remainder, with the operator part interestingly independent of the order of dispersion.

A conditional Lagrangian clock barrier at the $C^{1,\frac{1}{3}}$ threshold for axisymmetric Euler without swirl

We consider axisymmetric no-swirl solutions to the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations, with initial velocity in $C^{1,α}\cap L^2$, where $α\in\left[\frac{1}{3},1\right)$. In a major breakthrough, Shkoller introduced a clock-and-driver framework that he used in order to prove finite-time type I blow-up below the $C^{1,\frac{1}{3}}$ threshold in this setting. Motivated by this, we define Lagrangian classes of coherent conditional solutions for which the same mechanism yields a supercritical-critical barrier to blow-up when $α\geq\frac{1}{3}$. When $α>\frac{1}{3}$, the aforementioned barrier is genuinely depleted, whereas at the critical endpoint $α=\frac{1}{3}$, we obtain an exponential bound preventing blow-up. In the general case, we formulate a matrix-clock criterion in terms of the smallest singular value of the deformation gradient and show that, under transverse cusp-tail, longitudinal, off-clock, Dini, and suitable geometric coherence hypotheses, this singular value cannot collapse in finite time. In particular, we also show that the class of such coherent solutions includes the smooth ones locally in time. In the on-axis case, the criterion reduces to the scalar clock inequality $\displaystyle \dot{J}(t)\gtrsim -B(t)J(t)-CJ(t)^{3α}$, which rules out Shkoller-type clock collapse for $α\geq\frac{1}{3}$. These results do not enlarge the known Lorentz-space global regularity classes. Rather, they in particular identify the supercritical Lagrangian obstruction dual to Shkoller's subcritical blow-up mechanism in the case $α>\frac{1}{3}$.
