Spectral convergence of empirical integral operators with discontinuous kernels

We study the spectral behavior as the sample size $n \to +\infty$ of integral operators defined by convolution of a non-negative symmetric kernel k with respect to empirical measures $μ_n = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n δ_{X_i}$, where $\{X_i\}_{i=1}^n$ are independent uniform samples from a compact probability metric space $(\mathcal{X},d,μ)$. Relaxing the usual positivity and continuity assumptions on k, we prove the convergence of these empirical operators to their continuous counterparts, and provide explicit convergence rates.

Spectral properties of symmetrized AMV operators

The symmetrized Asymptotic Mean Value Laplacian $\tildeΔ$, obtained as limit of approximating operators $\tildeΔ_r$, is an extension of the classical Euclidean Laplace operator to the realm of metric measure spaces. We show that, as $r \downarrow 0$, the operators $\tildeΔ_r$ eventually admit isolated eigenvalues defined via min-max procedure on any compact locally Ahlfors regular metric measure space. Then we prove $L^2$ and spectral convergence of $\tildeΔ_r$ to the Laplace--Beltrami operator of a compact Riemannian manifold, imposing Neumann conditions when the manifold has a non-empty boundary.

A note on the maximization of the first Dirichlet eigenvalue for perforated planar domains

In this work we prove that given an open bounded set $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ with a $C^2$ boundary, there exists $ε:= ε(Ω)$ small enough such that for all $0 < δ< ε$ the maximum of $\{λ_1(Ω- B_δ(x)):B_δ \subset Ω\}$ is never attained when the ball is close enough to the boundary. In particular it is not obtained when $B_δ(x)$ is touching the boundary $\partial Ω$.

Optimal uniform bounds for competing variational elliptic systems with variable coefficients

Let $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ be an open set. In this work we consider solutions of the following gradient elliptic system \[ -\text{div}(A(x)\nabla u_{i,β}) = f_i(x,u_{i,β}) + a(x)β|u_{i, β}|^{γ-1}u_{i, β} \mathop{\sum_{j=1}^l}_{j\neq i} |u_{j, β}|^{γ+ 1}, \] for $i=1,\ldots, l$. We work in the competitive case, namely $β<0$. Under suitable assumptions on $A$, $a$, $f_i$ and on the exponent $γ$, we prove that uniform $L^\infty$-bounds on families of positive solutions $\{u_β\}_{β<0}=\{(u_{1,β},\ldots, u_{l,β})\}_{β<0}$ imply uniform Lipschitz bounds (which are optimal). One of the main points in the proof are suitable generalizations of Almgren's and Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman's monotonicity formulas for solutions of such systems. Our work generalizes previous results, where the case $A(x)=Id$ (i.e. the operator is the Laplacian) was treated.
