We consider the localization of eigenfunctions for the operator on a Lipschitz domain omega and, more generally, on manifolds with and without boundary. In earlier work, two authors of the present paper demonstrated the remarkable ability of the landscape, defined as the solution to Lu = 1, to predict the location of the localized eigenfunctions. Here, we explain and justify a new framework that reveals a richly detailed portrait of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues. We show that the reciprocal of the landscape function, 1/u, acts as an effective potential. Hence from the single measurement of u, we obtain, via 1/u, explicit bounds on the exponential decay of the eigenfunctions of the system and estimates on the distribution of eigenvalues near the bottom of the spectrum.
