The spectral estimates for the Neumann-Laplace operator in space domains (1607.00487v3)
Published 2 Jul 2016 in math.AP
Abstract: 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 Poincar\'e-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).
