Let Ω be an open connected subset of R n for which the Poincaré inequality holds. We consider the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem for the Laplace operator in the open subset φ(Ω) of R n , where φ is a locally Lipschitz continuous homeomorphism of Ω onto φ(Ω). Then we show Lipschitz type inequalities for the reciprocals of the eigenvalues of the Rayleigh quotient φ(Ω) |Dv| 2 dy φ(Ω) |v| 2 dy upon variation of φ, which in particular yield inequalities for the proper eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian when we further assume that the imbedding of the Sobolev space W 1,2 0 (Ω) into the space L 2 (Ω) is compact. In this case, we prove the same type of inequalities for the projections onto the eigenspaces upon variation of φ.
Spectral Properties of the Dirichlet-To-Neumann Operator on Lipschitz Domains
2007
The Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator D! is defined on L 2 (!) where ! is the boundary of a Lipschitz domain " and ! a real number which is not an eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian on L2("). We show that D! is a selfadjoint lower bounded operator with compact resolvent. There is a close connection between its eigenvalues and those of the Laplacian # µ on L 2 (") with Robin boundary conditions "u = µu|! where µ ! R. This connection is used to generalize L. Friedlander's result ! N+1 " ! D ,k =1 ,2 (where ! D is the k # th Dirichlet and ! N the k # th Neumann eigenvalue) to Lipschitz domains. We show that this Euclidean result is false, though, if an arbitrary compact Riemannian manifold M is considered instead of R d and " is suitable domain in M.
The spectral estimates for the Neumann–Laplace operator in space domains
Advances in Mathematics
In this paper we prove discreteness of the spectrum of the Neumann-Laplacian (the free membrane problem) in a large class of non-convex space domains. The lower estimates of the first non-trivial eigenvalue are obtained in terms of geometric characteristics of Sobolev mappings. The suggested approach is based on Sobolev-Poincaré inequalities that are obtained with the help of a geometric theory of composition operators on Sobolev spaces. These composition operators are induced by generalizations of conformal mappings that is called as mappings of bounded 2-distortion (weak 2-quasiconformal mappings).
A generic property for the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian
Topological Methods in Nonlinear Analysis, 2002
In this work we show that, generically in the set of C 2 bounded regions of R n , n ≥ 2, the inequality R Ω φ 3 = 0 holds for any eigenfunction of the Laplacian with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions.
On the Uniform Poincaré Inequality
Communications in Partial Differential Equations, 2007
We give a proof of the Poincaré inequality in W 1,p (Ω) with a constant that is independent of Ω ∈ U, where U is a set of uniformly bounded and uniformly Lipschitz domains in R n. As a byproduct, we obtain the following : The first non vanishing eigenvalues λ 2 (Ω) of the standard Neumann (variational) boundary value problem on Ω for the Laplace operator are bounded below by a positive constant if the domains Ω vary and remain uniformly bounded and uniformly Lipschitz regular.
Nonlocal Robin Laplacians and some remarks on a paper by Filonov on eigenvalue inequalities
Journal of Differential Equations, 2009
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 −∆ Θ,Ω in L 2 (Ω; d n x) with (nonlocal and local) Robin-type boundary conditions on bounded Lipschitz domains Ω ⊂ R n , n ∈ N, n ≥ 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.
Sobolev extension operators and Neumann eigenvalues
Journal of Spectral Theory, 2020
In this paper we apply estimates of the norms of Sobolev extension operators to the spectral estimates of of the first nontrivial Neumann eigenvalue of the Laplace operator in non-convex extension domains. As a consequence we obtain a connection between resonant frequencies of free membranes and the smallest-circle problem (initially proposed by J. J. Sylvester in 1857).
