We consider the problem of finding $\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$ and a function $u:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ that satisfy the PDE $$ \max\left\{\lambda + F(D^2u) -f(x),H(Du)\right\}=0, \quad x\in \mathbb{R}^n. $$ Here $F$ is elliptic,…

We study the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, with $n\geq 2$. In particular, we generalize and improve upper bounds for the Riesz means of order $\sigma\geq 3/2$ established in an article by…
