Upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a hypersurface bounding a domain in some ambient Riemannian manifold are given in terms of the isoperimetric ratio of the domain. These results are applied to the…

The first two eigenvalues of the Robin Laplacian are investigated along with their gap and ratio. Conjectures by various authors for arbitrary domains are supported here by new results for rectangular boxes. Results for rectangular domains…

It is well known that the usual mixed method for solving the biharmonic eigenvalue problem by decomposing the operator into two Laplacians may generate spurious eigenvalues on non-convex domains. To overcome this difficulty, we adopt a…

Fix two parallel circles in $\mathbb{R}^3$ centered about a common axis. Among surfaces of revolution immersed in $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose boundary is given by these circles, there is one which maximizes the first Dirichlet eigenvalue. If the…

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…

We prove that for bounded and convex domains in three dimensions, the Maxwell constants are bounded from below and above by Friedrichs' and Poincar\'e's constants. In other words, the second Maxwell eigenvalues lie between the square roots…

We prove three related quantitative results for the relative isoperimetric problem outside a convex body $\Omega$ in the plane: (1) {\L}ojasiewicz estimates and quantitative rigidity for critical points, (2) rates of convergence for the…

In this paper, generalizing to the non smooth case already existing results, we prove that, for any convex planar set $\Omega$, the first non-trivial Neumann eigenvalue $\mu_1(\Omega)$ of the Hermite operator is greater than or equal to 1.…

We establish a lower bound for the surface area of a closed, convex hypersurface in Euclidean space in terms of its displacement under continuous maps. As a result, a hypothesized lower bound for the volume of a Riemannian $n$-sphere,…

This paper presents a geometric approach to the classical isoperimetric problem by analysing the efficiency of regular polygons in enclosing maximum area for a fixed perimeter. Using efficiency metrics, it proves that regular polygons…
