Abstract

Let URnU\subset \mathbb{R}^n (n3n\geq 3) be an exterior Euclidean domain with smooth boundary U\partial U. We consider the Steklov eigenvalue problem on UU. First we derive a sharp lower bound for the first eigenvalue in terms of the support function and the distance function to the origin of U\partial U. Second under various geometric conditions on U\partial U we obtain sharp upper bounds for the first eigenvalue. Along the proof, we get a sharp upper bound for the capacity of U\partial U when n=3n=3 and U\partial U is connected. Last we also discuss an upper bound for the second eigenvalue.
