    The paper under review is concerned with the problem of finding the optimal shape of a class of set-dependent functionals. The main result establishes an optimality property for a Rayleigh-type quotient on the Sobolev space \(W_0^{1,2}(\Omega)\), where \(\Omega\) is an open set in \({\mathbb R}^n\), \(n\geq 2\). A consequence of this result provides the best constant in the corresponding Sobolev-Poincaré inequality. The proofs combine the Schwarz symmetrization with spectral properties of the Dirichlet Laplace operator.
