We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.
We study the nodal set of the Steklov eigenfunctions on the boundary of a smooth bounded domain in
Under the assumption that the domain
Our arguments, which make heavy use of Almgren's frequency functions, are built on the previous works [Garofalo and Lin, CPAM 40 (1987), no. 3; Lin, CPAM 42 (1989), no. 6].
