We deepen the study of Dirichlet eigenvalues in bounded domains where a thin tube is attached to the boundary. As its section shrinks to a point, the problem is spectrally stable and we quantitatively investigate the rate of convergence of…

We show that optimal $L^2$-convergence in the finite element method on quasi-uniform meshes can be achieved if, for some $s_0 > 1/2$, the boundary value problem has the mapping property $H^{-1+s} \rightarrow H^{1+s}$ for $s \in [0,s_0]$.…

This paper is motivated by the maximization of the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Laplace operator with Neumann boundary conditions among domains of ${\mathbb R}^N$ with prescribed measure. We relax the problem to the class of (possibly…

We consider spectral optimization problems of the form $$\min\Big\{\lambda_1(\Omega;D):\ \Omega\subset D,\ |\Omega|=1\Big\},$$ where $D$ is a given subset of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$. Here $\lambda_1(\Omega;D)$ is the first…

We prove the convergence of the fixed-point (also called thresholding) algorithm in three optimal control problems under large volume constraints. This algorithm was introduced by C\'ea, Gioan and Michel, and is of constant use in the…

We study the efficiency of the first Dirichlet eigenfunction $u$ on bounded convex domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, defined as the ratio between the mean value of $u$ on $\Omega$ and its maximum value. By exploiting improved…

We consider Cheeger-like shape optimization problems of the form $$\min\big\{|\Omega|^\alpha J(\Omega) : \Omega\subset D\big\}$$ where $D$ is a given bounded domain and $\alpha$ is above the natural scaling. We show the existence of a…

In two spatial dimensions, we discuss the relation between the solvability of Schiffer's overdetermined problem and the optimality, among sets of prescribed area, of the first eigenvalue in the buckling problem for a clamped plate and that…

The discrete Laplace operator on a triangulated polyhedral surface is related to geometric properties of the surface. This paper studies extremum problems for eigenvalues of the discrete Laplace operators. Among all triangles, an…

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 $\Lambda(\Omega)T(\Omega)$…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 1$, be a bounded connected open set. We consider the weighted eigenvalue problem $-\Delta u =\lambda m u$ in $\Omega$ with $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$, $m\in L^\infty(\Omega)$ and with homogeneous…
