A Counterexample to the “hot Spots” Conjecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct a counterexample to the “hot spots” conjecture; there exists a bounded connected planar domain (with two holes) such that the second eigenvalue of the Laplacian in that domain with Neumann boundary conditions is simple and such that the corresponding eigenfunction attains its strict maximum at an interior point of that domain.

متن کاملFiber Brownian Motion and the “hot Spots” Problem
1. Introduction. The main purpose of this article is to give a stronger counterexample to the " hot spots " conjecture than the one presented in Burdzy and Werner [7]. Along the way we define and partly analyze a new process, which we call fiber Brownian motion, and which may have some interest of its own. Consider a Euclidean domain that has a discrete spectrum for the Laplacian with Neumann b...
متن کاملOn the oriented perfect path double cover conjecture
An oriented perfect path double cover (OPPDC) of a graph $G$ is a collection of directed paths in the symmetric orientation $G_s$ of $G$ such that each arc of $G_s$ lies in exactly one of the paths and each vertex of $G$ appears just once as a beginning and just once as an end of a path. Maxov{'a} and Ne{v{s}}et{v{r}}il (Discrete Math. 276 (2004) 287-294) conjectured that ...
متن کاملWeak Convergence of Reflecting Brownian Motions
1. Introduction. We will show that if a sequence of domains D k increases to a domain D then the reflected Brownian motions in D k 's converge to the reflected Brownian motion in D, under mild technical assumptions. Our theorem follows easily from known results and is perhaps known as a " folk law " among the specialists but it does not seem to be recorded anywhere in an explicit form. The purp...
متن کاملClosed Nodal Lines and Interior Hot Spots of the Second Eigenfunction of the Laplacian on Surfaces
We build a one–parameter family of S−invariant metrics on the unit disc with fixed total area for which the second eigenvalue of the Laplace operator in the case of both Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions is simple and has an eigenfunction with a closed nodal line. In the case of Neumann boundary conditions, we also prove that this eigenfunction attains its maximum at an interior point, ...
