Abstract
We study the spectrum of non-homogeneous partially hinged plates having structural engineering applications. A possible way to prevent instability phenomena is to maximize the ratio between the frequencies of certain oscillating modes with respect to the density function of the plate; we prove existence of optimal densities and we investigate their analytic expression. This analysis suggests where to locate reinforcing material within the plate; some numerical experiments give further information and support the theoretical results.

The following list includes several aspects of spectral theory and also fields which feature substantial applications of (or to) spectral theory.
Schrödinger operators, scattering theory and resonances;
eigenvalues: perturbation theory, asymptotics and inequalities;
quantum graphs, graph Laplacians;
pseudo-differential operators and semi-classical analysis;
random matrix theory;
the Anderson model and other random media;
non-self-adjoint matrices and operators, including Toeplitz operators;
spectral geometry, including manifolds and automorphic forms;
linear and nonlinear differential operators, especially those arising in geometry and physics;
orthogonal polynomials;
inverse problems.
