AbstractWe study the minimization of a spectral functional made as the sum of the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian and the relative strength of a Riesz-type interaction functional. We show that when the Riesz repulsion strength is below a critical value, existence of minimizers occurs. Then we prove, by means of an expansion analysis, that the ball is a rigid minimizer when the Riesz repulsion is small enough. Eventually we show that for certain regimes of the Riesz repulsion, regular minimizers do not exist.

It has been shown by Kesavan (Proc. R. Soc. Edinb. A (133) (2003), 617–624) that the first eigenvalue for the Dirichlet Laplacian in a punctured ball, with the puncture having the shape of a ball, is maximum if and only if the balls are concentric. Recently, Emamizadeh and Zivari-Rezapour (Proc. Am. Math. Soc.136 (2007), 1325–1331) have tried to generalize this result to the case of the p-Laplacian but could succeed only in proving a domain monotonicity result for a weighted eigenvalue problem in which the weights need to satisfy some artificial conditions. In this paper we generalize the result of Kesavan to the case of the p-Laplacian (1 < p < ∞) without any artificial restrictions, and in the process we simplify greatly the proof, even in the case of the Laplacian. The uniqueness of the maximizing domain in the nonlinear case is still an open question.

We consider the problem of minimizing or maximizing the quantity [Formula: see text] on the class of open sets of prescribed Lebesgue measure. Here [Formula: see text] is fixed, [Formula: see text] denotes the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian on [Formula: see text], while [Formula: see text] is the torsional rigidity of [Formula: see text]. The optimization problem above is considered in the class of all domains [Formula: see text], in the class of convex domains [Formula: see text], and in the class of thin domains. The full Blaschke–Santaló diagram for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is obtained in dimension one, while for higher dimensions we provide some bounds.

<abstract><p>We consider the sharp Sobolev-Poincaré constant for the embedding of $ W^{1, 2}_0(\Omega) $ into $ L^q(\Omega) $. We show that such a constant exhibits an unexpected dual variational formulation, in the range $ 1 &lt; q &lt; 2 $. Namely, this can be written as a convex minimization problem, under a divergence–type constraint. This is particularly useful in order to prove lower bounds. The result generalizes what happens for the torsional rigidity (corresponding to $ q = 1 $) and extends up to the case of the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplacian (i.e., to $ q = 2 $).</p></abstract>

The analysis of shape optimization problems involving the spectrum of the Laplace operator, such as isoperimetric inequalities, has known in recent years a series of interesting developments essentially as a consequence of the infusion of free boundary techniques. The main focus of this paper is to show how the analysis of a general shape optimization problem of spectral type can be reduced to the analysis of particular free boundary problems. In this survey article, we give an overview of some very recent technical tools, the so-called shape sub- and supersolutions, and show how to use them for the minimization of spectral functionals involving the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian, under a volume constraint.

In this paper, we investigate universal inequalities for eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian and the clamped plate problem on a bounded domain in an n-dimensional polydisk 𝔻n. Moreover, from the domain monotonicity of the eigenvalue, we can prove that if the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian tends to [Formula: see text] when the domain tends to the polydisk 𝔻n, then all of the eigenvalues tend to [Formula: see text].

This paper presents a practical methodology developed for shape optimization studies of hydraulic structures using environmental numerical modelling codes. The methodology starts by defining the optimization problem and identifying relevant problem constraints. Design variables in shape optimization studies are configuration of structures (such as length or spacing of groins, orientation and layout of breakwaters, etc.) whose optimal orientation is not known a priori. The optimization problem is solved numerically by coupling an optimization algorithm to a numerical model. The coupled system is able to define, test and evaluate a multitude of new shapes, which are internally generated and then simulated using a numerical model. The developed methodology is tested using an example of an optimum design of a fish passage, where the design variables are the length and the position of slots. In this paper an objective function is defined where a target is specified and the numerical optimizer is asked to retrieve the target solution. Such a definition of the objective function is used to validate the developed tool chain. This work uses the numerical model TELEMAC- 2Dfrom the TELEMAC-MASCARET suite of numerical solvers for the solution of shallow water equations, coupled with various numerical optimization algorithms available in the literature.
