Abstract: We consider the problem of finding and describing minimisers of the Rayleigh quotient [ Lambda_infty , :=, inf_{uin mathcal{W}^{2,infty}(Omega)setminus{0} }frac{|Delta u|_{L^infty(Omega)}}{|u|_{L^infty(Omega)}}, ] where

O m e g a s u b s e t e q m a t h b b R^{n}

is a bounded

C^{1, 1}

domain and

m a t h c a l W^{2, i n f t y} (O m e g a)

is a class of weakly twice differentiable functions satisfying either

u = 0

or

u = | m a t h r m D u | = 0

on

p a r t i a l O m e g a

. Our first main result, obtained through approximation by

L^{p}

-problems as

p o i n f t y

, is the existence of a minimiser

u_{i} n f t y i n m a t h c a l W^{2, i n f t y} (O m e g a)

satisfying [ left{ �egin{array}{ll} Delta u_infty , in , Lambda_infty mathrm{Sgn}(f_infty) & ext{ a.e. in }Omega, \ Delta f_infty , =, mu_infty & ext{ in }mathcal{D}'(Omega), end{array} ight. ] for some

f_{i} n f t y i n L^{1} (O m e g a) c a p B V_{e x t l o c} (O m e g a)

and a measure

m u_{i} n f t y i n m a t h c a l M (O m e g a)

, for either choice of boundary conditions. Here Sgn is the multi-valued sign function. We also study the dependence of the eigenvalue

L a m b d a_{i} n f t y

on the domain, establishing the validity of a Faber-Krahn type inequality: among all

C^{1, 1}

domains with fixed measure, the ball is a strict minimiser of

O m e g a m a p s t o L a m b d a_{i} n f t y (O m e g a)

. This result is shown to hold true for either choice of boundary conditions and in every dimension.
