Optimisation of Robin Laplacian eigenvalue with indefinite weight in spherical shell

Spectral Theory 2026-04-01 v1 Functional Analysis

Abstract

This paper is concerned with an optimisation problem of Robin Laplacian eigenvalue with respect to an indefinite weight, which is formulated as a shape optimisation problem thanks to the known bang-bang distribution of the optimal weight function. The minimisation of the principal eigenvalue of the problem in a spherical shell of an arbitrary dimension is fully solved.
