We provide a sharp double-sided estimate for Poincar\'e-Sobolev constants on a convex set, in terms of its inradius and $N-$dimensional measure. Our results extend and unify previous works by Hersch and Protter (for the first eigenvalue)…

We generalize to the case of the $p-$Laplacian an old result by Hersch and Protter. Namely, we show that it is possible to estimate from below the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet $p-$Laplacian of a convex set in terms of its inradius. We…

On a convex set, we prove that the Poincar\'e-Sobolev constant for functions vanishing at the boundary can be bounded from above by the ratio between the perimeter and a suitable power of the $N-$dimensional measure. This generalizes an old…

For any convex set $\Omega \subset {\mathbb R} ^N$, we provide a lower bound for the inverse of the Poincar\'e constant in $W ^ {1, 1}(\Omega)$: it refines an inequality in terms of the diameter due to Acosta-Duran, via the addition of an…

Motivated by the connection between the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplacian and the torsional rigidity, the aim of this paper is to find a physically coherent and mathematically interesting new concept for boundary torsional…

We prove a lower bound on the sharp Poincar\'e-Sobolev embedding constants for general open sets, in terms of their inradius. We consider the following two situations: planar sets with given topology; open sets in any dimension, under the…

Let $\mathfrak{q}>2$ be a prime number, $\chi$ a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $\mathfrak{q}$ and $f$ a primitive holomorphic cusp form or a Hecke-Maass cusp form of level $\mathfrak{q}$ and trivial nebentypus. We prove the subconvex…

A one-parameter family of variational problems is introduced that interpolates between torsional rigidity and the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian. The associated partial differential equation is derived, which is shown to have…

We consider the problem of minimising or maximising the quantity $\lambda(\O)T^q(\O)$ on the class of open sets of prescribed Lebesgue measure. Here $q>0$ is fixed, $\lambda(\O)$ denotes the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian on…

Let $\Omega\subset R^n$ be a bounded convex domain with $n\ge2$. Suppose that $A$ is uniformly elliptic and belongs to $W^{1,n}$ when $n\ge 3$ or $W^{1,q}$ for some $q>2$ when $n=2$. For $1<p<\infty$, we build up a global second order…

Given a bounded convex open set $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb R^N$, we prove that the Poincar\'e-Sobolev constants $\lambda_{p,q}(\Omega)$ can be bounded from below by the $p$-power of the ratio between the perimeter of $\Omega$ and a suitable…

We study the problem of minimizing the second Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Laplacian operator among sets of given perimeter. In two dimensions, we prove that the optimum exists, is convex, regular, and its boundary contains exactly two…

This paper is concerned with an explicit value of the embedding constant from $W^{1,q}(\Omega)$ to $L^{p}(\Omega)$ for a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N~(N\in\mathbb{N})$, where $1\leq q\leq p\leq \infty$. To obtain this value, we…

We consider the problem of minimizing convex combinations of the first two eigenvalues of the Dirichlet-Laplacian among open sets of $R^N$ of fixed measure. We show that, by purely elementary arguments, based on the minimality condition, it…

We introduce higher-order Poincar'e constants for compact weighted manifolds and estimate them from above in terms of subsets. These estimates imply upper bounds for eigenvalues of the weighted Laplacian and the first nontrivial eigenvalue…

The well known duality between the Sobolev inequality and the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality suggests that the Nash inequality could also have an interesting dual form, even though the Nash inequality relates three norms instead of…

In this paper we study some relationships between the first Dirichlet eigenvalue $\Lambda(\Omega)$ and the torsional rigidity $T(\Omega)$ of a domain $\Omega$. We consider the problem of optimizing the product $\Lambda(\Omega)T(\Omega)$…

The paper deals with the optimal control problem described by second order evolution differential inclusions; to this end first we use an auxiliary problem with second order discrete and discrete-approximate inclusions. Then applying…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, be a bounded, open and convex set and let $f$ be a positive and non-increasing function depending only on the distance from the boundary of $\Omega$. We consider the $p-$torsional rigidity…

Inspired by a recent result of Funano's, we provide a sharp quantitative comparison result between the first nontrivial eigenvalues of the Neumann Laplacian on bounded convex domains $\Omega_{1} \subset \Omega_{2}$ in any dimension $d$…
