Reconstruction of second-order elliptic operator from spectrum
Let $M$ be a compact smooth manifold, $(\lambda_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a square-summable monotonically increasing sequence of non-negative numbers, and let $(f_k)_{k=1}^{\infty}$ be continuous ...

Domains with discrete Laplace spectrum
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a domain. Assume that the Laplacian $-\Delta=-(\partial^2/\partial x_1^2+\cdots+\partial^2/\partial x_n^2)$ has a discrete spectrum on $L^2(\Omega)$ (i.e., we are ...

How to find $\nabla u\cdot \nu|_{B(0,1)} $ where $u$ is solution of given conductivity equation?
I have encountered the following problem.
Let $\chi:=\chi_{B(0,1/2)}$ be characteristics function i.e it take $1$ if $x\in B(0,1/2)$ otherwise $0$.
$\nabla\cdot ((1+\chi_{B(0,1/2)})\nabla u )=0 $ in $...

Which matrices can be realized as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a given domain?
Consider Poisson equation $\nabla \cdot (\sigma(x)\nabla u)=0$ in a domain $D$, where $\sigma(x)$ is the spatially dependent conductivity. On the boundary we have $n$ electrodes (Dirichlet BC $u=\text{...

How often does the gradient of a solution to elliptic equation vanish on the boundary?
This question is motivated by an inverse coefficient problem, for which it is useful to find solutions to a particular PDE so that the gradient of the solution does not vanish at all, or at least too ...

Solution of Poisson equation vanishing at the boundary of any order
Let $f$ be a compactly supported function in $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ and
$\Delta u=f$ in $\Omega$
such that $D^{\alpha}u=0$ on $\partial \Omega$ for every multi-index $\alpha$ with $|\alpha| \...

A integral equation with Discrete to result by inverse problem
Problem
I asked a question at Math.SE last year and later offered a bounty for it, but it remains unsolved even in the simplest case. So I finally decided to repost this case here, (I know the ...
