We study spectral stability estimates of elliptic operators in divergence form $-\textrm{div} [A(w) \nabla g(w)]$ with the Dirichlet boundary condition in non-Lipschitz domains $\widetildeΩ \subset \mathbb C$. The suggested method is based on connections of planar quasiconformal mappings with Sobolev spaces and its applications to the Poincaré inequalities.
In this paper we study integral estimates of derivatives of conformal mappings $φ:\mathbb D\toΩ$ of the unit disc $\mathbb D\subset\mathbb C$ onto bounded domains $Ω$ that satisfy the Ahlfors condition. These integral estimates lead to estimates of constants in Sobolev-Poincaré inequalities, and by the Rayleigh quotient we obtain spectral estimates of the Neumann-Laplace operator in non-Lipschitz domains (quasidiscs) in terms of the (quasi)conformal geometry of the domains. Specifically, the lower estimates of the first non-trivial eigenvalues of the Neumann-Laplace operator in some fractal type domains (snowflakes) were obtained.
In this paper we prove discreteness of the spectrum of the Neu\-mann-Lap\-la\-ci\-an (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 Poincaré-Sobolev inequalities that are obtained with the help of the composition operators theory for uniform Sobolev spaces. These composition operators are induced by a generalizations of conformal mappings that are mappings of bounded $2$-dilatation ($2$-quasiconformal mappings).
In this paper we obtain estimates for the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplace Neumann operator in bounded simply connected planar domains $Ω\subset\mathbb R^2$. This study is based on a quasiconformal version of the universal weighted Poincaré-Sobolev inequalities obtained in our previous papers for conformal weights. The suggested weights in the present paper are Jacobians of quasiconformal mappings. The main technical tool is the theory of composition operators in relation with the Brennan's Conjecture for (quasi)conformal mappings.
In this paper we study spectral estimates of the $p$-Laplace Neumann operator in conformal regular domains $Ω\subset\mathbb R^2$. This study is based on (weighted) Poincaré-Sobolev inequalities. The main technical tool is the composition operators theory in relation with the Brennan's conjecture. We prove that if the Brennan's conjecture holds then for any $p\in (4/3,2)$ and $r\in (1,p/(2-p))$ the weighted $(r,p)$-Poincare-Sobolev inequality holds with the constant depending on the conformal geometry of $Ω$. As a consequence we obtain classical Poincare-Sobolev inequalities and spectral estimates for the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplace Neumann operator for conformal regular domains.
We prove that any weakly differentiable function with square integrable gradient can be extended to a capacitary boundary of any simply connected plane domain $Ω\ne\mathbb R^2$ except a set of a conformal capacity zero. For locally connected at boundary points domains the capacitary boundary coincides with the Euclidean one. A concept of a capacitary boundary was proposed by V.~Gol'dshtein and S.~K.~Vodop'yanov in 1978 for a study of boundary behavior of quasi-conformal homeomorphisms. We prove in details the main properties of the capacitary boundary. An abstract version of the extension property for more general classes of plane domains is discussed also.
We study the eigenvalue problem for the Dirichlet Laplacian in bounded simply connected plane domains $Ω\subset\mathbb{C}$ using conformal transformations of the original problem to the weighted eigenvalue problem for the Dirichlet Laplacian in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$. This allows us to estimate the variation of the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian upon domain perturbation via energy type integrals for a large class of "conformal regular" domains which includes all quasidiscs, i.e. images of the unit disc under quasiconformal homeomorphisms of the plane onto itself. Boundaries of such domains can have any Hausdorff dimension between one and two.
Let $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a domain that supports the $p$-Poincaré inequality. Given a homeomorphism $φ\in L^1_p(Ω)$, for $p>n$ we show the domain $φ(Ω)$ has finite geodesic diameter. This result has a direct application to Brennan's conjecture and quasiconformal homeomorphisms. {\bf The Inverse Brennan's conjecture} states that for any simply connected plane domain $Ω' \subset\mathbb C$ with nonempty boundary and for any conformal homeomorphism $φ$ from the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ onto $Ω'$ the complex derivative $φ'$ is integrable in the degree $s$, $-2 2$ is not possible for domains $Ω'$ with infinite geodesic diameter.
We show that Brennan's conjecture is equivalent to boundedness of composition operators on homogeneous Sobolev spaces generated by conformal homeomorphisms of simply connected plane domains to the unit disc.
