Abstract

This paper is devoted to exploring the relationship between the [1,n)p[1,n)\ni p-capacity and the surface-area in Rn2\mathbb R^{n\ge 2} which especially shows: if ΩRn\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n is a convex, compact, smooth set with its interior Ω\Omega^\circ\not=\emptyset and the mean curvature H(Ω,)>0H(\partial\Omega,\cdot)>0 of its boundary Ω\partial\Omega then (n(p1)p(n1))p1(capp(Ω)(p1np)1pσn1)(area(Ω)σn1)npn1(Ω(H(Ω,))n1dσ()σn1n1)p1p(1,n) \left(\frac{n(p-1)}{p(n-1)}\right)^{p-1}\le\frac{\left(\frac{\hbox{cap}_p(\Omega)}{\big(\frac{p-1}{n-p}\big)^{1-p}\sigma_{n-1}}\right)}{\left(\frac{\hbox{area}(\partial\Omega)}{\sigma_{n-1}}\right)^\frac{n-p}{n-1}}\le\left(\sqrt[n-1]{\int_{\partial\Omega}\big(H(\partial\Omega,\cdot)\big)^{n-1}\frac{d\sigma(\cdot)}{\sigma_{n-1}}}\right)^{p-1}\quad\forall\quad p\in (1,n) whose limits 1p & pn1\leftarrow p\ \&\ p\rightarrow n imply 1=cap1(Ω)area(Ω)  & Ω(H(Ω,))n1dσ()σn11, 1=\frac{cap_1(\Omega)}{\hbox{area}(\partial\Omega)}\ \ \& \ \int_{\partial\Omega}\big(H(\partial\Omega,\cdot)\big)^{n-1}\frac{d\sigma(\cdot)}{\sigma_{n-1}}\ge 1, thereby not only discovering that the new best known constant is roughly half as far from the one conjectured by P\'olya-Szeg\"o in \cite[(2)]{P} but also extending the P\'olya-Szeg\"o inequality in \cite[(5)]{P}, with both the conjecture and the inequality being stated for the electrostatic capacity of a convex solid in R3\mathbb R^3.
