TauCeti.Analysis.PDE.Spectrum.Interval

The Dirichlet spectrum of -Δ on an interval #

On a bounded open interval (a, b) the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem for -Δ = -d²/dx² can be solved explicitly: its eigenvalues are exactly the numbers (k π / (b - a))², k ≥ 1, with eigenfunctions x ↦ sin (k π (x - a) / (b - a)). This is the model Sturm--Liouville problem, the case of the general Dirichlet spectral theory of TauCeti.PDE.IsDirichletEigenvalue in which the whole spectrum is explicit. In particular the first Dirichlet eigenvalue is (π / (b - a))², and by the Rayleigh principle this is the optimal constant in the Poincaré inequality C ∫_a^b u² ≤ ∫_a^b |u'|² on H¹₀(a, b).

The interval is realized as the open subset TauCeti.PDE.intervalDomain a b of the Euclidean line EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 1), the setting of the Sobolev spaces and the energy forms.

Each sine mode is C^∞, vanishes at a and b and satisfies -Δw = (k π / (b - a))² w classically, so it is a weak Dirichlet eigenfunction (TauCeti.PDE.exists_value_ae_eq_and_energyFormH1_eq_of_laplacian_eq). Conversely, the energy form is symmetric, so an eigenfunction for any other κ is orthogonal in L²(a, b) to every sine mode, and it vanishes by completeness of the sine system (TauCeti.ae_eq_zero_of_forall_integral_mul_sin_eq_zero).

    As a set, the interval domain consists of the points of the line whose coordinate lies in (a, b).

    The interval domain (a, b) is bounded.

    The Dirichlet spectrum of -Δ on an interval. The Dirichlet eigenvalues of -Δ on (a, b) are exactly the numbers (k π / (b - a))² with k ≥ 1: the homogeneous Dirichlet problem -Δu = κ u in (a, b), u = 0 at a and b, has a nonzero weak solution in H¹₀(a, b) exactly for these κ.

    The first Dirichlet eigenvalue of -Δ on (a, b) is (π / (b - a))², the least element of the Dirichlet spectrum.

    The interval domain (a, b) is nonempty exactly when a < b.
