Abstract: We consider the problem of minimising the $k$th eigenvalue, $kgeq2$, of the ($p$-)Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions with respect to all domains in $mathbb{R}^N$ of given volume $M$. When $k=2$, we prove that the second eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian is minimised by the domain consisting of the disjoint union of two balls of equal volume, and that this is the unique domain with this property. For $p=2$ and $kgeq3$, we prove that in many cases a minimiser cannot be independent of the value of the constant $alpha$ in the boundary condition, or equivalently of the volume $M$. We obtain similar results for the Laplacian with generalised Wentzell boundary conditions $$.
