Dirichlet boundary conditions, stability estimates for the eigenfunctions, perturbation of an open set, gap between linear operators MSC (2010) 47F05, 35J40, 35B30, 35P15 Stability of the eigenfunctions of nonnegative selfadjoint second-order linear elliptic operators subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary data under domain perturbation is investigated. Let Ω, Ω ⊂ R n be bounded open sets. The main result gives estimates for the variation of the eigenfunctions under perturbations Ω of Ω such that Ωε = {x ∈ Ω : dist(x, R n \Ω) > ε} ⊂ Ω ⊂ Ω ⊂ Ω in terms of powers of ε, where the parameter ε > 0 is sufficiently small. The estimates obtained here hold under some regularity assumptions on Ω, Ω. They are obtained by using the notion of a gap between linear operators, which has been recently extended by the authors to differential operators defined on different open sets.

Stability Estimates for Resolvents, Eigenvalues, and Eigenfunctions of Elliptic Operators on Variable Domains

International Mathematical Series, 2009

We consider general second order uniformly elliptic operators subject to homogeneous boundary conditions on open sets φ(Ω) parametrized by Lipschitz homeomorphisms φ defined on a fixed reference domain Ω. Given two open sets φ(Ω),φ(Ω) we estimate the variation of resolvents, eigenvalues and eigenfunctions via the Sobolev norm φ − φ W 1,p (Ω) for finite values of p, under natural summability conditions on eigenfunctions and their gradients. We prove that such conditions are satisfied for a wide class of operators and open sets, including open sets with Lipschitz continuous boundaries. We apply these estimates to control the variation of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions via the measure of the symmetric difference of the open sets.

Spectral Stability Estimates for Elliptic Operators Subject to Domain Transformations With Non-Uniformly Bounded Gradients

Mathematika, 2012

We consider uniformly elliptic operators with Dirichlet or Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions on a domain Ω in R N . We consider deformations φ(Ω) of Ω obtained by means of a locally Lipschitz homeomorphism φ and we estimate the variation of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues upon variation of φ. We prove general stability estimates without using uniform upper bounds for the gradients of the maps φ. As an application, we obtain estimates on the rate of convergence for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions when a domain with an outward cusp is approximated by a sequence of Lipschitz domains.

Stability estimates in H0 1 for solutions of elliptic equations in varying domains

2014

We consider second-order uniformly elliptic operators subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. Such operators are considered on a bounded domain Ω and on the domain φ(Ω) resulting from Ω by means of a bi-Lipschitz map φ. We consider the solutions u andũ of the corresponding elliptic equations with the same right-hand side f ∈ L 2 (Ω ∪ φ(Ω)). Under certain assumptions we estimate the difference ∇ũ − ∇u L 2 (Ω∪φ(Ω)) in terms of certain measure of vicinity of φ to the identity map. For domains within a certain class this provides estimates in terms of the Lebesgue measure of the symmetric difference of φ(Ω) and Ω, that is |φ(Ω)△Ω|. We provide an example which shows that the estimates obtained are in a certain sense sharp.

Spectral Stability of Higher Order Uniformly Elliptic Operators

International Mathematical Series, 2009

We prove estimates for the variation of the eigenvalues of uniformly elliptic operators with homogeneous Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions upon variation of the open set on which an operator is defined. We consider operators of arbitrary even order and open sets admitting arbitrary strong degeneration. The main estimate is expressed via a natural and easily computable distance between open sets with continuous boundaries. Another estimate is obtained via the lower Hausdorff-Pompeiu deviation of the boundaries, which in general may be much smaller than the usual Hausdorff-Pompeiu distance. Finally, in the case of diffeomorphic open sets we obtain an estimate even without the assumption of continuity of the boundaries.

Spectral stability of elliptic selfadjoint differential operators with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions

We present a general spectral stability theorem for nonnegative selfadjoint operators with compact resolvents, which is based on the notion of a transition operator, and some appli-cations to the study of the dependence of the eigenvalues of uniformly elliptic operators upon domain perturbation.

Domain perturbations and estimates for the solutions of second order elliptic equations

Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, 2002

We study the dependence of the variational solution of the inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem for a second order elliptic equation with respect to perturbations of the domain. We prove optimal L 2 and energy estimates for the difference of two solutions in two open sets in terms of the "distance" between them and suitable geometrical parameters which are related to the regularity of their boundaries. We derive such estimates when at least one of the involved sets is uniformly Lipschitz: due to the connection of this problem with the regularity properties of the solutions in the L 2 family of Sobolev-Besov spaces, the Lipschitz class is the reasonably weakest one compatible with the optimal estimates.
