We consider the following eigenvalue optimization problem: Given a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\R^n$ and numbers $\alpha\geq 0$, $A\in [0,|\Omega|]$, find a subset $D\subset\Omega$ of area $A$ for which the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of…

In this article, we study domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{S}^2$ that support positive solutions of the overdetermined problem $$ \Delta u + f(u,|\nabla u|)=0 \quad \text{in } \Omega, $$ subject to the boundary conditions $u=0$ on…

In this work we prove that given an open bounded set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ with a $C^2$ boundary, there exists $\epsilon := \epsilon(\Omega)$ small enough such that for all $0 < \delta < \epsilon$ the maximum of $\{\lambda_1(\Omega…

We show that if $\Omega$ is an $m$-convex domain in $\mathbb R^n$ for some $2\le m<n$ whose boundary $b\Omega$ has a tubular neighbourhood of positive radius and is not $m$-flat near infinity, then $\Omega$ does not contain any immersed…

Let $\Omega$ be a star-shaped bounded domain in $(\mathbb{S}^{n}, ds^{2})$ with smooth boundary. In this article, we give a sharp lower bound for the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Steklov eigenvalue problem in $\Omega.$ This result is…

Let $\mathbb{M}$ denote a complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature $K_{\mathbb{M}} \leq k$ and Ricci curvature $\text{Ric}_{\mathbb{M}} \geq (n-1)K$, where $k,K \in \mathbb{R}$. Then for a bounded domain…

We consider the first eigenvalue $\lambda_1(\Omega,\sigma)$ of the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions on a compact Riemannian manifold $\Omega$ with smooth boundary, $\sigma\in\bf R$ being the Robin boundary parameter. When $\sigma>0$…

In this paper, we obtain optimal upper bounds for all the Neumann eigenvalues in two situations (that are closely related). First we consider a one-dimensional Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem where the density is a function $h(x)$ whose…

In recent work by Zimmer it was proved that if $\Omega\subset\mathbb C^n$ is a bounded convex domain with $C^\infty$-smooth boundary, then $\Omega$ is strictly pseudoconvex provided that the squeezing function approaches one as one…

In this paper we prove the existence of an optimal domain which minimizes the buckling load of a clamped plate among all bounded domains with given measure. Instead of treating this variational problem with a volume constraint, we introduce…

A property of smooth convex domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is that if two points on the boundary $x, y \in \partial \Omega$ are close to each other, then their normal vectors $n(x), n(y)$ point roughly in the same direction and this…

We establish a quantitative version of the isoperimetric inequality for the torsion of multiply connected domains, among sets with given area and with given joint area of the holes. Since the optimal shape is the annulus, we investigate how…

The reverse isoperimetric problem asks for existence and properties of bounded convex sets in a Riemannian manifold which maximise the perimeter under all those sets of fixed volume which roll freely in a ball of some given radius. If the…
