In this paper we analyse possible extensions of the classical Steklov eigenvalue problem to the fractional setting. In particular, we find a non-local eigenvalue problem of fractional type that approximates, when taking a suitable limit, the classical Steklov eigenvalue problem.

In this paper, we propose a local defect-correction method for solving the Steklov eigenvalue problem arising from the scalar second order positive definite partial differential equations based on the multilevel discretization. The objective is to avoid solving large-scale equations especially the large-scale Steklov eigenvalue problem whose computational cost increases exponentially. The proposed algorithm transforms the Steklov eigenvalue problem into a series of linear boundary value problems, which are defined in a multigrid space sequence, and a series of small-scale Steklov eigenvalue problems in a coarse correction space. Furthermore, we use the local defect-correction technique to divide the large-scale boundary value problems into small-scale subproblems. Through our proposed algorithm, we avoid solving large-scale Steklov eigenvalue problems. As a result, our proposed algorithm demonstrates significantly improved the solving efficiency. Additionally, we conduct numerical experiments and a rigorous theoretical analysis to verify the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

Abstract We consider an $n$-dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold $M^n=[0,R)\times \mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ endowed with a warped product metric $g=dr^2+h^2(r)g_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}}$ and diffeomorphic to a Euclidean ball. Suppose that $M$ has strictly convex boundary. First, for the classical Steklov eigenvalue problem, we derive an optimal lower (upper, respectively) bound for its eigenvalue gaps in terms of $h^{\prime}(R)/h(R)$ when $n\geq 2$ and $Ric_g\geq 0$ ($\leq 0$, respectively). Second, in the same spirit, for two 4th-order Steklov eigenvalue problems studied by Kuttler and Sigillito in 1968, we deduce an optimal lower bound for their eigenvalue gaps in terms of either $h^{\prime}(R)/h^3(R)$ or $h^{\prime}(R)/h(R)$ when $n=2$ and the Gaussian curvature is nonnegative. We also consider optimal estimates on the eigenvalue ratios for these eigenvalue problems.

Recently Fraser and Schoen showed that the solution of a certain extremal Steklov eigenvalue problem on a compact surface with boundary can be used to generate a free boundary minimal surface, i.e., a surface contained in the ball that has (i) zero mean curvature and (ii) meets the boundary of the ball orthogonally. In this paper, we develop numerical methods that use this connection to realize free boundary minimal surfaces. Namely, on a compact surface, Σ, with genus γ and b boundary components, we maximize σ j (Σ, g) L(∂Σ, g) over a class of smooth metrics, g, where σ j (Σ, g) is the j-th nonzero Steklov eigenvalue and L(∂Σ, g) is the length of ∂Σ.

AbstractUsing the Ljusternik–Schnirelmann principle and a new variational technique, we prove that the following Steklov eigenvalue problem has infinitely many positive eigenvalue sequences:\left\{\begin{aligned} &\displaystyle\operatorname{div}(a(x,\nabla u))=0&&% \displaystyle\phantom{}\text{in }\Omega,\\ &\displaystyle a(x,\nabla u)\cdot\nu=\lambda m(x)|u|^{p(x)-2}u&&\displaystyle% \phantom{}\text{on }\partial\Omega,\end{aligned}\right.where {\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{N}}{(N\geq 2)} is a bounded domain of smooth boundary {\partial\Omega} and ν is the outward unit normal vector on {\partial\Omega}. The functions {m\in L^{\infty}(\partial\Omega)}, {p\colon\overline{\Omega}\mapsto\mathbb{R}} and {a\colon\overline{\Omega}\times\mathbb{R}^{N}\mapsto\mathbb{R}^{N}} satisfy appropriate conditions.

AbstractIn this paper we study spectral properties of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map on differential forms obtained by a slight modification of the definition due to Belishev and Sharafutdinov. The resulting operator $\unicode[STIX]{x039B}$ is shown to be self-adjoint on the subspace of coclosed forms and to have purely discrete spectrum there. We investigate properties of eigenvalues of $\unicode[STIX]{x039B}$ and prove a Hersch–Payne–Schiffer type inequality relating products of those eigenvalues to eigenvalues of the Hodge Laplacian on the boundary. Moreover, non-trivial eigenvalues of $\unicode[STIX]{x039B}$ are always at least as large as eigenvalues of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map defined by Raulot and Savo. Finally, we remark that a particular case of $p$-forms on the boundary of a $2p+2$-dimensional manifold shares many important properties with the classical Steklov eigenvalue problem on surfaces.

In the presentp aper, we study the existence and non-existence results of a positive solution for the Steklov eigenvalue problem driven by nonhomogeneous operator $(p,q)$-Laplacian with indefinite weights. We also prove that in the case where $\mu>0$ and with $1<q<p<\infty$ the results are completely different from those for the usua lSteklov eigenvalue problem involving the $p$-Laplacian with indefinite weight, which is retrieved when $\mu=0$. Precisely, we show that when $\mu>0$ there exists an interval of principal eigenvalues for our Steklov eigenvalue problem.
