Geometric eigenvalue estimates of Kuttler-Sigillito type on differential forms
Abstract
We introduce a new biharmonic Steklov problem on differential forms with Dirichlet-type boundary conditions and show that it is elliptic. We prove the existence of a discrete spectrum for this problem and give variational characterizations for eigenvalues associated to it. We establish eigenvalue estimates known as Kuttler-Sigillito inequalities, which connect the eigenvalues of different problems on differential forms with curvature quantities on the manifold.
