We study the stiff spectral Neumann problem for the Laplace operator in a smooth bounded domain Ω ⊂ R d which is divided into two subdomains: an annulus Ω 1 and a core Ω 0 . The density and the stiffness constants are of order ε − 2 m and ε − 1 in Ω 0 , while they are of order 1 in Ω 1 . Here m ∈ R is fixed and ε > 0 is small. We provide asymptotics for the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions as ε → 0 for any m. In dimension 2 the case when Ω 0 touches the exterior boundary ∂ Ω and Ω 1 gets two cusps at a point O is included into consideration. The possibility to apply the same asymptotic procedure as in the “smooth” case is based on the structure of eigenfunctions in the vicinity of the irregular part. The full asymptotic series as x → O for solutions of the mixed boundary value problem for the Laplace operator in the cuspidal domain is given.

The asymptotic behavior (as ε→0) of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a mixed boundary-value problem for the Laplace operator in a plane thick periodic junction with concentrated masses is investigated. This junction consists of the junction's body and a large number N=O(ε-1) of thin rods. The density of the junction is order O(ε-α) on the rods (the concentrated masses if α>0), and O(1) outside. The results depend on the value of the parameter α(α<2, α=2, or α>2). There are three kinds of vibrations, which are present in each of these cases: vibrations, whose energy is concentrated in the junction's body; vibrations, whose energy is concentrated on the thin rods; and vibrations (pseudovibrations), in which each thin rod can have its own frequency. The frequency range, where pseudovibrations can be present, is indicated. The asymptotic estimates for the corresponding eigenfunctions and eigenvalues are proved.

Abstract We consider the eigenvalue problem Δu + λu = 0 in Ω with Robin condition + αu = 0 on ∂Ω , where Ω ⊂ Rn , n ≥ 2 is a bounded domain and α is a real parameter. We obtain the estimates to the difference between λDk - λk(α) eigenvalue of the Laplace operator in with Dirichlet condition and the corresponding Robin eigenvalue for large positive values of for all k = 1,2,… We also show sharpness of these estimates in the power of α.

AbstractWe consider the equation {-\Delta_{p}u=f(u)} in a smooth bounded domain of {\mathbb{R}^{n}}, where {\Delta_{p}} is the p-Laplace operator. Explicit examples of unbounded stable energy solutions are known if {n\geq p+\frac{4p}{p-1}}. Instead, when {n<p+\frac{4p}{p-1}}, stable solutions have been proved to be bounded only in the radial case or under strong assumptions on f. In this article we solve a long-standing open problem: we prove an interior {C^{\alpha}} bound for stable solutions which holds for every nonnegative {f\in C^{1}} whenever {p\geq 2} and the optimal condition {n<p+\frac{4p}{p-1}} holds. When {p\in(1,2)}, we obtain the same result under the nonsharp assumption {n<5p}. These interior estimates lead to the boundedness of stable and extremal solutions to the associated Dirichlet problem when the domain is strictly convex. Our work extends to the p-Laplacian some of the recent results of Figalli, Ros-Oton, Serra, and the first author for the classical Laplacian, which have established the regularity of stable solutions when {p=2} in the optimal range {n<10}.
