New bounds for the principal Dirichlet eigenvalue of planar regions.
Convex shape optimization for the least biharmonic Steklov eigenvalue
The least Steklov eigenvalue for the biharmonic operator in bounded domains gives a bound for the positivity preserving property for the hinged plate problem, appears as a norm of a suitable trace operator, and gives the optimal constant to estimate the -norm of harmonic functions. These applications suggest to address the problem of minimizing in suitable classes of domains. We survey the existing results and conjectures about this topic; in particular,...
Asymptotic behaviour and numerical approximation of optimal eigenvalues of the Robin laplacian
We consider the problem of minimising the th-eigenvalue of the Robin Laplacian in R. Although for = 1,2 and a positive boundary parameter it is known that the minimisers do not depend on , we demonstrate numerically that this will not always be the case and illustrate how the optimiser will depend on . We derive a Wolf–Keller type result for this problem and show that optimal eigenvalues grow at most with , which is in sharp contrast with the Weyl asymptotics for a fixed domain....
