A maximum principle in spectral optimization problems for elliptic operators subject to mass density perturbations

Spectral Theory 2014-01-27 v3

Abstract

We consider eigenvalue problems for general elliptic operators of arbitrary order subject to homogeneous boundary conditions on open subsets of the euclidean N-dimensional space. We prove stability results for the dependence of the eigenvalues upon variation of the mass density and we prove a maximum principle for extremum problems related to mass density perturbations which preserve the total mass.
