Abstract

In this paper for all p>1p>1 we prove that the pull-in voltage of the pp-MEMS (micro-electro mechanical systems) problems on a smooth bounded domain of Rd,d1,\mathbb R^{d}, d\geq1, is minimized by symmetrizing the domain and the permittivity profile. The proofs rely on some suitable version of Talenti's comparison principle. We also demonstrate our method to the multidimensional MEMS type problems on the whole space Rd,d3,\mathbb R^{d}, d\geq3, and the Dirichlet boundary value problems of second order uniformly elliptic differential operators.
