The spectral functionΘ(t)=∑i=1∞exp(−tλj), where{λj}j=1∞are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplace-Beltrami operator−Δ, is studied for a compact Riemannian manifoldΩof dimension “k” with a smooth boundary∂Ω, where a finite number of piecewise impedance boundary conditions(∂∂ni+γi)u=0on the parts∂Ωi(i=1,…,m)of the boundary∂Ωcan be considered, such that∂Ω=∪i=1m∂Ωi, andγi(i=1,…,m)are assumed to be smooth functions which are not strictly positive.

We derive Harnack-type inequalities for non-negative solutions of the porous medium equation on a complete Riemannian manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature. Along with gradient estimates, reparametrization of a geodesic and time rescaling of a solution are key tools to get the results.

For each p ∈ [2, ∞)a p-harmonic map f:Mm→Nn is a critical point of the p-energy functionalwhere Mm is a compact and Nn a complete Riemannian manifold of dimensions m and n respectively. In a recent paper [3], Takeuchi has proved that for a certain class of simply-connected δ-pinched Nn and certain type of hypersurface Nn in ℝn+1, the only stable p-harmonic maps for any compact Mm are the constant maps. Our purpose in this note is to establish the following theorem which complements Takeuchi's results.

The paper deals with the asymptotic behaviour as ε → 0 of the spectrum of the Laplace–Beltrami operator Δε on the Riemannian manifold Mε (dim Mε = N ≥ 2) depending on a small parameter ε > 0. Mε consists of two perforated domains, which are connected by an array of tubes of length qε. Each perforated domain is obtained by removing from the fixed domain Ω ⊂ ℝN the system of ε-periodically distributed balls of radius dε = ō(ε). We obtain a variety of homogenized spectral problems in Ω; their type depends on some relations between ε, dε and qε. In particular, if the limitsare positive, then the homogenized spectral problem contains the spectral parameter in a nonlinear manner, and its spectrum has a sequence of accumulation points.

AbstractWe study the Riemannian Laplace-Beltrami operator L on a Riemannian manifold with Heisenberg group H1 as boundary. We calculate the heat kernel and Green's function for L, and give global and small time estimates of the heat kernel. A class of hypersurfaces in this manifold can be regarded as approximations of H1. We also restrict L to each hypersurface and calculate the corresponding heat kernel and Green's function. We will see that the heat kernel and Green's function converge to the heat kernel and Green's function on the boundary.

In this paper, we prove that if a complete Riemannian manifold M has finitely many ends, each of which is a Harnack end, then the set of all energy finite bounded A-harmonic functions on M is one to one corresponding to Rl, where A is a nonlinear elliptic operator of type p on M and l is the number of p-nonparabolic ends of M. We also prove that if a complete Riemannian manifold M is roughly isometric to a complete Riemannian manifold with finitely many ends, each of which satisfies the volume doubling condition, the Poincaré inequality and the finite covering condition near infinity, then the set of all energy finite bounded A-harmonic functions on M is finite dimensional. This result generalizes those of Yau, of Donnelly, of Grigor’yan, of Li and Tam, of Holopainen, and of Kim and the present author, but with a barrier argument at infinity that the peculiarity of nonlinearity demands.
