In this paper we characterize the limiting behavior of the principal eigenvalue, $\s_1[-\D,\b,\O]$, of the boundary value problem \eqref{1.1} as the Lebesgue measure of the underlying domain, $\O$, tends to zero. Naturally, the domains $\O$…

Among all $C^{\infty}$ bounded domains with equal volume, we show that the second eigenvalue of the Robin plate is uniquely maximized by an open ball, so long as the Robin parameter lies within a particular range of negative values. Our…
