Geometrical structure of Laplacian eigenfunctions

DS Grebenkov, BT Nguyen - siam REVIEW, 2013 - SIAM
We summarize the properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in
bounded Euclidean domains with Dirichlet, Neumann, or Robin boundary condition. We …

Control for Schrödinger operators on tori

N Burq, M Zworski - arXiv preprint arXiv:1106.1412, 2011 - arxiv.org
A well known result of Jaffard states that an arbitrary region on a torus controls, in the L2
sense, solutions of the free stationary and dynamical Schroedinger equations. In this note …

Recent advances in open billiards with some open problems

CP Dettmann - Frontiers in the study of chaotic dynamical systems …, 2011 - World Scientific
Much recent interest has focused on" open" dynamical systems, in which a classical map or
flow is considered only until the trajectory reaches a" hole", at which the dynamics is no …

Nonuniform stability of damped contraction semigroups

R Chill, L Paunonen, D Seifert, R Stahn, Y Tomilov - Analysis & PDE, 2023 - msp.org
We investigate the stability properties of strongly continuous semigroups generated by
operators of the form A− BB∗, where A is the generator of a contraction semigroup and B is …

Almost all eigenfunctions of a rational polygon are uniformly distributed

J Marklof, Z Rudnick - Journal of Spectral Theory, 2012 - ems.press
We consider an orthonormal basis of eigenfunctions of the Dirichlet Laplacian for a rational
polygon. The modulus squared of the eigenfunctions defines a sequence of probability …

Strichartz estimates for the Schrödinger equation on polygonal domains

MD Blair, GA Ford, S Herr, JL Marzuola - Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2012 - Springer

polygonal domains with either Dirichlet or Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions …

You can hear the shape of a billiard table: Symbolic dynamics and rigidity for flat surfaces

M Duchin, V Erlandsson, CJ Leininger… - Commentarii …, 2021 - ems.press
We give a complete characterization of the relationship between the shape of a Euclidean
polygon and the symbolic dynamics of its billiard flow. We prove that the only pairs of tables …

Concentration and non-concentration of eigenfunctions of second-order elliptic operators in layered media

A Benabdallah, M Ben-Artzi, Y Dermenjian - Journal of Spectral Theory, 2024 - ems.press
This work is concerned with operators of the type AD Qc acting in domains 0. 0; H/Â Rd RC:
The diffusion coefficient Qc> 0 depends on one coordinate y 2. 0; H/and is bounded but may …

Localization and delocalization of eigenmodes of harmonic oscillators
