✦ Synopsis
We investigate the maximality properties of the second periodic eigenvalue of the Hill's operator. The potential function is normalized so that its average over a period is zero. Apart from its own significance, this question is related to the study of the motion-by-curvature equation.

where s is the arc-length, k is the curvature, 2 X is the Laplace Beltrami operator associated to X, and k j , j=1, ..., n, are the principal curvatures of X (notice that h is assumed to be a smooth function defined on X; in the case n=1 we must have that h(0)=h(l ), where l is the length of the article no. 0146

## Abstract In this paper we prove that for a simple graph __G__ without isolated vertices 0 < λ~2~(__G__) < 1/3 if and only if __G__ ≅ K̄~__n__‐3~ V (__K__~1~ ∪ __K__~2~), the graph obtained by joining each vertex of K̄~__n__‐3~ to each vertex of __K__~1~ ∪ __K__~2~). © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc
In this paper all connected line graphs whose second largest eigenvalue does not exceed 1 are characterized. Besides, all minimal line graphs with second largest eigenvalue greater than 1 are determined.
## Abstract Let us consider the boundary‐value problem equation image where __g__: ℝ → ℝ is a continuous and __T__ ‐periodic function with zero mean value, not identically zero, (__λ__, __a__) ∈ ℝ^2^ and $ \tilde h $ ∈ __C__ [0, __π__ ] with ∫^__π__^ ~0~ $ \tilde h $(__x__) sin __x dx__ = 0. If _
In this paper the work of Berestycki, Nirenberg and Varadhan on the maximum principle and the principal eigenvalue for second order operators on general domains is extended to Riemannian manifolds. In particular it is proved that the refined maximum principle holds for a second order elliptic operat
