We prove that the isoperimetric inequality due to Hersch-Payne-Schiffer for the n-th nonzero Steklov eigenvalue of a bounded simply-connected planar domain is sharp for all n=1,2,... The equality is attained in the limit by a sequence of…

We estimate the rate of change of the best constant in the Sobolev inequality of a Euclidean domain which moves outward. Along the way we prove an inequality which reverses the usual Holder inequality, which may be of independent interest.

We develop new methods to compare the span $\mathcal{C}(\Sigma)$ of the coordinate functions on a free boundary minimal submanifold $\Sigma$ embedded in the unit $n$-ball $\mathbb{B}^n$ with its first Steklov eigenspace…

We study nodal sets of Steklov eigenfunctions in a bounded domain with $\mathcal{C}^2$ boundary. Our first result is a lower bound for the Hausdorff measure of the nodal set: we show that for $u_{\lambda}$ a Steklov eigenfunction, with…

We consider three different questions related to the Steklov and mixed Steklov problems on surfaces. These questions are connected by the techniques that we use to study them, which exploit symmetry in various ways even though the surfaces…

In this paper we prove a Lyapunov type inequality for quasilinear problems with indefinite weights. We show that the first eigenvalue is bounded below in terms of the integral of the weight, instead of the integral of its positive part. We…

It is shown that every even, zonal measure on the Euclidean unit sphere gives rise to an isoperimetric inequality for sets of finite perimeter which directly implies the classical Euclidean isoperimetric inequality. The strongest member of…

We establish a new lower bound for the first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue of a compact Riemannian manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature and (strictly) convex boundary. Related results are also obtained under weaker geometric hypotheses.

It is shown by a counterexample that isocapacitary and isoperimetric constants of a multi-dimensional Euclidean domain starshaped with respect to a ball are not equivalent. Sharp integral inequalities involving the harmonic capacity which…

In this paper we study the Steklov-Dirichlet eigenvalues $\lambda_k(\Omega,\Gamma_S)$, where $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is a domain and $\Gamma_S\subset \partial \Omega$ is the subset of the boundary in which we impose the Steklov…

The Steklov eigenvalue problem was introduced over a century ago, and its discrete form attracted interest recently. Let $D$ and $\delta \Omega$ be the maximum vertex degree and the set of vertices of degree one in a graph $\mathcal{G}$…

The isodiametric inequality states that the Euclidean ball maximizes the volume among all convex bodies of a given diameter. We are motivated by a conjecture of Makai Jr.~on the reverse question: Every convex body has a linear image whose…

In this paper we investigate the behavior of the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian on sets in $\mathbb{R}^N$ whose first eigenvalue is close to the one of the ball with the same volume. In particular in our main Theorem we prove that,…

We consider the Steklov problem associated with the weighted p-Laplace operator and $(p,q)$-Laplacian on submanifolds with the boundary of Euclidean spaces and prove Reilly-type upper bounds for their first eigenvalues.

This paper is concerned with stability of the ball for a class of isoperimetric problems under convexity constraint. Considering the problem of minimizing $P+\varepsilon R$ among convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^N$ of fixed volume, where $P$…

Let $\Omega$ be a compact surface with smooth boundary and the geodesic curvature $k_g \ge {c > 0}$ along $\partial \Omega$ for some constant $c \in \mathbb{R}$. We prove that, if the Gaussian curvature satisfies $K \ge -\alpha$ for a…

The classical isodiametric inequality in the Euclidean space says that balls maximize the volume among all sets with a given diameter. We consider in this paper the case of Carnot groups. We prove that for any Carnot group equipped with a…
