In this article, we prove a variant of domain monotonicity property for the Steklov eigenvalues of the Laplacian on strictly star-shaped bounded domains contained in $\mathbb{R}^n$. As an application of this result, we obtain an upper and a lower bound for Steklov eigenvalues on convex domains.
In this article, we study the mixed Steklov--Neumann eigenvalue problem on doubly connected domains. First, we show that among all doubly connected domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ of the form $B_{R_2}\setminus \overline{B_{R_1}}$, where $B_{R_1}$ and $B_{R_2}$ are open balls of fixed radii satisfying $\overline{B_{R_1}} \subset B_{R_2}$, the first non-zero Steklov--Neumann eigenvalue attains its maximal value when the balls are concentric. Next, we establish bounds for the first non-zero Steklov--Neumann eigenvalue on a doubly connected star-shaped domain contained in a hypersurface equipped with a revolution-type metric. We also derive the asymptotic behavior of the first non-zero Steklov--Neumann eigenvalue on a bounded domain with a spherical hole in $\mathbb{R}^n$ as the radius of the hole approaches zero. Finally, we study the number of nodal domains of the eigenfunction corresponding to the first non zero Steklov--Neumann eigenvalue on a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ having a spherical hole.
In this article, we study Steklov eigenvalues and mixed Steklov Neumann eigenvalues on a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, $n \geq 2$, having a spherical hole. We focus on two main results related to Steklov eigenvalues. First, we obtain explicit expression for the second nonzero Steklov eigenvalue on concentric annular domain. Secondly, we derive a sharp upper bound of the first $n$ nonzero Steklov eigenvalues on a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ having symmetry of order $4$ and a ball removed from its center. This bound is given in terms of the corresponding Steklov eigenvalues on a concentric annular domain of the same volume as $\Omega$. Next, we consider the mixed Steklov Neumann eigenvalue problem on $4^{\text{th}}$ order symmetric domains in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ having a spherical hole and obtain upper bound of the first $n$ nonzero eigenvalues. We also provide some examples to illustrate that symmetry assumption in our results is crucial. Finally, We make some numerical observations about these eigenvalues using FreeFEM++ and state them as conjectures.
We consider mixed Steklov-Dirichlet eigenvalue problem on smooth bounded domains in Riemannian manifolds. Under certain symmetry assumptions on multiconnected domains in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with a spherical hole, we obtain isoperimetric inequalities for $k$-th Steklov-Dirichlet eigenvalues for $2 \leq k \leq n+1$. We extend Theorem 3.1 of \cite{gavitone2023isoperimetric} from Euclidean domains to domains in space forms, that is, we obtain sharp lower and upper bounds of the first Steklov-Dirichlet eigenvalue on bounded star-shaped domains in the unit $n$-sphere and in the hyperbolic space.
