A sharp lower bound for some neumann eigenvalues of the hermite operator

2013

This paper deals with the Neumann eigenvalue problem for the Hermite operator defined in a convex, possibly unbounded, planar domain $\Omega$, having one axis of symmetry passing through the origin. We prove a sharp lower bound for the first eigenvalue $\mu_1^{odd}(\Omega)$ with an associated eigenfunction odd with respect to the axis of symmetry. Such an estimate involves the first eigenvalue of the corresponding one-dimensional problem. As an immediate consequence, in the class of domains for which $\mu_1(\Omega)=\mu_1^{odd}(\Omega)$, we get an explicit lower bound for the difference between $\mu(\Omega)$ and the first Neumann eigenvalue of any strip.

Comparison results for a linear elliptic equation with mixed boundary conditions

2003

In this paper we study a linear elliptic equation having mixed boundary conditions, defined in a connected open set $\Omega $ of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. We prove a comparison result with a suitable ``symmetrized'' Dirichlet problem which cannot be uniformly elliptic depending on the regularity of $ \partial \Omega $. Regularity results for non-uniformly elliptic equations are also given.

On a time-depending Monge-Ampère type equation

2012

Abstract In this paper, we prove a comparison result between a solution u ( x , t ) , x ∈ Ω ⊂ R 2 , t ∈ ( 0 , T ) , of a time depending equation involving the Monge–Ampere operator in the plane and the solution of a conveniently symmetrized parabolic equation. To this aim, we prove a derivation formula for the integral of a smooth function g ( x , t ) over sublevel sets of u , { x ∈ Ω : u ( x , t ) ϑ } , ϑ ∈ R , having the same perimeter in R 2 .

Some remarks on nonlinear elliptic problems involving Hardy potentials

2007

In this note we prove an Hardy type inequality with a remainder term, where the potential depends only on a group of variables. Such a result allows us to show the existence of entropy solutions to a class of elliptic P.D.E.'s.
