The aim of this paper is to obtain optimal estimates for the first Robin eigenvalue of the anisotropic $p$-Laplace operator, namely: \[ \lambda_F(\beta,\Omega)=\lambda_{F}(p,\beta,\Omega)= \min_{\psi\in W^{1,p}(\Omega)\setminus\{0\} }…

For given continuous functions $\gamma_{{}_{i}}: S^{n}\to \mathbb{R}_{+}$ (where $i=1, 2$), the functions $\gamma_{{}_{max}}$ and $\gamma_{{}_{min}}$ can be defined as natural way. In this paper, we show that the Wulff shape associated to…
