In this paper we prove a reverse Faber-Krahn inequality for the principal eigenvalue $\mu_1(\Omega)$ of the fully nonlinear eigenvalue problem \[ \label{eq} \left\{\begin{array}{r c l l} -\lambda_N(D^2 u) & = & \mu u & \text{in }\Omega, \\…
We study the eigenvalue problem for the Neumann-Laplace operator in conformal regular planar domains $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}$. Conformal regular domains support the Poincar\'e inequality and this allows us to estimate the variation of the…
This paper is devoted to a comparison between the normalized first (non-trivial) Neumann eigenvalue $|\Omega| \mu_1(\Omega)$ for a Lipschitz open set $\Omega$ in the plane, and the normalized first (non-trivial) Steklov eigenvalue…
Suppose $F: \mathbb{R}^{N} \rightarrow [0, +\infty)$ be a convex function of class $C^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{N} \backslash \{0\})$ which is even and positively homogeneous of degree 1. We denote $\gamma_1=\inf\limits_{u\in W^{1,…
Let $\Omega$ be a convex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and $\varphi$ a convex function on $\Omega$. We prove that $\log{K_{\Omega,\varphi}(z)}$ is a convex function (might be identically $-\infty$) on $\Omega$, where $K_{\Omega,\varphi}$ is the…

In this paper, given a convex, bounded, open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ we prove a sharp inequality involving the Laplacian torsional rigidity and both the perimeter and the measure of the domain. Our result generalizes to arbitrary…
We generalize the classical Hardy and Faber-Krahn inequalities to arbitrary functions on a convex body $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, not necessarily vanishing on the boundary $\partial \Omega$. This reduces the study of the Neumann…

In this paper, we study quasilinear elliptic equations with the nonlinearity modelled after the $p(x)$-Laplacian on nonsmooth domains and obtain sharp Calder\'on-Zygmund type estimates in the variable exponent setting. In a recent work of…
We prove the existence of extremal domains for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in some compact Riemannian manifolds of dimension $n \geq 2$, with volume close to the volume of the manifold. If the first (positive)…
We prove global H\"older regularity result for weak solutions $u\in N^{1,p}(\Omega, \mu)$ to a PDE of $p$-Laplacian type with a measure as non-homogeneous term: \[ -\text{div}\!\left( |\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u \right)=\overline\nu, \] where…
We obtain the inequality $$\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u(x)|^ph(u(x))dx\leq C(n,p)\int_{\Omega} \left( \sqrt{ |\Delta u(x)||{\cal T}_{h,C}(u(x))|}\right)^{p}h(u(x))dx,$$ where $\Omega\subset \mathbf{R}^n$ is a bounded Lipschitz domain, $u\in…

In the first part of this paper we prove some new Poincar\'e inequalities, with explicit constants, for domains of any hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvatures bounded from above. This inequalities involve the first…
For a given bounded domain $\Omega\subset {\Bbb R}^n$ with $C^1$-smooth boundary, we prove the P\'olya conjecture for the Neumann eigenvalues. In other words, we prove that \begin{eqnarray*} \mu_{k+1}\le \frac{(2\pi)^2k^{2/n}}{(\omega_n…
