The aim of this paper is to prove a quantitative form of a reverse Faber-Krahn type inequality for the first Robin Laplacian eigenvalue λ β with negative boundary parameter among convex sets of prescribed perimeter. In that framework, the ball is the only maximizer for λ β and the distance from the optimal set is considered in terms of Hausdorff distance. The key point of our stategy is to prove a quantitative reverse Faber-Krahn inequality for the first eigenvalue of a Steklov-type problem related to the original Robin problem.

We study, in dimension n ≥ 2, the eigenvalue problem and the torsional rigidity for the p-Laplacian on convex sets with holes, with external Robin boundary conditions and internal Neumann boundary conditions. We prove that the annulus maximizes the first eigenvalue and minimizes the torsional rigidity when the measure and the external perimeter are fixed.

We study in this paper the following singular Schrödinger-Kirchhoff-type problem with critical exponent -a+b∫Ω∇u2dxΔu+u=Q(x)u5+μxα-2u+f(x)(λ/uγ) in Ω,u=0 on ∂Ω, where a,b>0 are constants, Ω⊂R3 is a smooth bounded domain, 0<α<1, λ>0 is a real parameter, γ∈(0,1) is a constant, and 0<μ<aμ1 (μ1 is the first eigenvalue of -Δu=μxα-2u, under Dirichlet boundary condition). Under appropriate assumptions on Q and f, we obtain two positive solutions via the variational and perturbation methods.

AbstractThe second eigenvalue of the Robin Laplacian is shown to be maximal for the disk among simply-connected planar domains of fixed area when the Robin parameter is scaled by perimeter in the form $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}/L(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})$, and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$ lies between $-2\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}$ and $2\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}$. Corollaries include Szegő’s sharp upper bound on the second eigenvalue of the Neumann Laplacian under area normalization, and Weinstock’s inequality for the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue for simply-connected domains of given perimeter.The first Robin eigenvalue is maximal, under the same conditions, for the degenerate rectangle. When area normalization on the domain is changed to conformal mapping normalization and the Robin parameter is positive, the maximiser of the first eigenvalue changes back to the disk.

Abstract We investigate the question of whether the eigenvalues of the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions can satisfy inequalities of the same type as those in Pólya’s conjecture for the Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacians and, if so, what form these inequalities should take. Motivated in part by Pólya’s original approach and in part by recent analogous works treating the Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacians, we consider rectangles and unions of rectangles and show that for these two families of domains, for any fixed positive value $\alpha$ of the boundary parameter, Pólya-type inequalities do indeed hold, albeit with an exponent smaller than that of the corresponding Weyl asympotics for a fixed domain. We determine the optimal exponents in both cases, showing that they are different in the two situations. Our approach to proving these results includes a characterization of the corresponding extremal domains for the $k^{\textrm{}}$th eigenvalue in regions of the $(k,\alpha )$-plane, which in turn supports recent conjectures on the nature of the extrema among all bounded domains.
