Numerical simulations for nodal domains and spectral minimal partitions
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 16 (2010) no. 1, pp. 221-246.

We recall here some theoretical results of Helffer et al. [Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Anal. Non Linéaire (2007) doi:10.1016/j.anihpc.2007.07.004] about minimal partitions and propose numerical computations to check some of their published or unpublished conjectures and exhibit new ones.
