We provide a new approach to studying the Dirichlet-Neumann map for Laplaces equation on a convex polygon using Fokas unified method for boundary value problems. By exploiting the complex analytic structure inherent in the unified method, we provide new proofs of classical results using mainly complex analytic techniques. The analysis takes place in a Banach space of complex valued, analytic functions and the methodology is based on classical results from complex analysis. Our approach gives way to new numerical treatments of the underlying boundary value problem and the associated Dirichlet-Neumann map. Using these new results we provide a family of well-posed weak problems associated with the Dirichlet-Neumann map, and prove relevant coercivity estimates so that standard techniques can be applied.
It was recently shown that the nodal deficiency of an eigenfunction is encoded in the spectrum of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators for the eigenfunctions positive and negative nodal domains. While originally derived using symplectic methods, this result can also be understood through the spectral flow for a family of boundary conditions imposed on the nodal set, or, equivalently, a family of operators with delta function potentials supported on the nodal set. In this paper we explicitly describe this flow for a Schrodinger operator with separable potential on a rectangular domain, and determine a mechanism by which lower energy eigenfunctions do or do not contribute to the nodal deficiency.
This paper is devoted to investigate the heat trace asymptotic expansion corresponding to the magnetic Steklov eigenvalue problem on Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We establish an effective procedure, by which we can calculate all the coefficients $a_0$, $a_1$, $dots$, $a_{n-1}$ of the heat trace asymptotic expansion. In particular, we explicitly give the expressions for the first four coefficients. These coefficients are spectral invariants which provide precise information concerning the volume and curvatures of the boundary of the manifold and some physical quantities by the magnetic Steklov eigenvalues.
We study Hardy spaces $H^p_ u$ of the conjugate Beltrami equation $bar{partial} f= ubar{partial f}$ over Dini-smooth finitely connected domains, for real contractive $ uin W^{1,r}$ with $r>2$, in the range $r/(r-1)<p<infty$. We develop a theory of conjugate functions and apply it to solve Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the conductivity equation $ abla.(sigma abla u)=0$ where $sigma=(1- u)/(1+ u)$. In particular situations, we also consider some density properties of traces of solutions together with boundary approximation issues.
We study the inverse problem of identifying a periodic potential perturbation of the Dirichlet Laplacian acting in an infinite cylindrical domain, whose cross section is assumed to be bounded. We prove log-log stable determination of the potential with respect to the partial Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, where the Neumann data is taken on slightly more than half of the boundary of the domain.
Using a distributed representation formula of the Gateaux derivative of the Dirichlet to Neumann map with respect to movements of a polygonal conductivity inclusion, [11], we extend the results obtained in [8] proving global Lipschitz stability for the determination of a polygonal conductivity inclusion embedded in a layered medium from knowledge of the Dirichlet to Neumann map.
