Abstract
Using expander graphs, we construct a sequence
$\{\Omega_N\}_{N\in\mathbb{N}}$ of smooth compact surfaces with boundary of
perimeter $N$, and with the first non-zero Steklov
eigenvalue $\sigma_1(\Omega_N)$ uniformly bounded away from
zero. This answers a question which was raised in [10]. The
sequence $\sigma_1(\Omega_N) L(\partial\Omega_n)$ grows linearly with the genus of
$\Omega_N$, which is the optimal growth rate.
期刊介绍:
Electronic Research Archive (ERA), formerly known as Electronic Research Announcements in Mathematical Sciences, rapidly publishes original and expository full-length articles of significant advances in all branches of mathematics. All articles should be designed to communicate their contents to a broad mathematical audience and must meet high standards for mathematical content and clarity. After review and acceptance, articles enter production for immediate publication.
ERA is the continuation of Electronic Research Announcements of the AMS published by the American Mathematical Society, 1995—2007
