Abstract: Let Omega be a bounded C2 domain in Rn, and let Omegaast be the Euclidean ball centered at 0 and having the same Lebesgue measure as Omega. Consider the operator L=div(Aabla)+vcdotabla+V on Omega with Dirichlet boundary condition. We prove that minimizing the principal eigenvalue of L when the Lebesgue measure of Omega is fixed and when A, v and V vary under some constraints is the same as minimizing the principal eigenvalue of some operators L in the ball Omega with smooth and radially symmetric coefficients. The constraints which are satisfied by the original coefficients in Omega and the new ones in Omega are expressed in terms of some distribution functions or some integral, pointwise or geometric quantities. Some strict comparisons are also established when Omega is not a ball.
