We study the stability properties of nodal sets of Laplace eigenfunctions on compact manifolds under specific small perturbations. We prove that nodal sets are fairly stable if such perturbations are relatively small, more formally, supported at a sub-wavelength scale. We do not need any generic assumption on the topology of the nodal sets or the simplicity of the Laplace spectrum. As an indirect application, we are able to show that a certain “Payne property” concerning the second nodal set…

Sharp lower bound on the"number of nodal decomposition"of graphs

The lower bound on the number of nodal decomposition of eigenvectors in the class of all graphs with a fixed number of vertices which can be treated as a discrete analogue to the results of Stern and Lewy in the continuous Laplacian case is discussed.

Nodal Set Openings on Perturbed Rectangular Domains

. We study the effects of perturbing the boundary of a rectangle on the nodal sets of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian. Namely, for a rectangle of a given aspect ratio N , we identify the first…

Eigenfunctions with prescribed nodal sets

In this paper we consider the problem of prescribing the nodal set of low-energy eigenfunctions of the Laplacian. Our main result is that, given any separating closed hypersurface \Sigma in a compact…

Closed nodal lines and interior hot spots of the second eigenfunction of the Laplacian on surfaces

We build a one-parameter family of S^{1}-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…

Nodal lines of eigenfunctions of the fixed membrane problem in general convex domains

We describe the boundary behavior of the nodal lines of eigenfunctions of the fixed membrane problem in convex, possibly nonsmooth, domains. This result is applied to the proof of Payne’s conjecture…

Abstract Let $M$ be a closed Riemannian manifold. We consider the inner radius of a nodal domain for a large eigenvalue $\text{ }\!\!\lambda\!\!\text{ }.$ We give upper and lower bounds on the inner…
