Abstract

We study a nonlinear Neumann-to-Steklov limit generated by a family of interior weights concentrating at the boundary. On a class of admissible possibly irregular domains obtained from the unit ball by trace-compatible Sobolev homeomorphisms, we consider the first nontrivial weighted (p,q)(p,q)-Neumann eigenvalue with respect to a concentrating bulk weight γa\gamma_a. We prove that, as a0a\to0, these eigenvalues converge to the corresponding weighted (p,q)(p,q)-Steklov eigenvalue with boundary weight β\beta. Moreover, normalized minimizers converge, up to subsequences, strongly in W1,pW^{1,p} to Steklov minimizers. Equivalently, the best constants in the weighted Poincar\'e inequalities converge to the best constants in the weighted trace inequalities; in fact, a quantitative convergence estimate is obtained in the subcritical trace range.
