Abstract: Let $Omega$ be a bounded $C^2$ domain in $R^n$, and let $Omeg{a}^{ast}$ 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 $Omeg{a}^{*}$ with smooth and radially symmetric coefficients. The constraints which are satisfied by the original coefficients in $Omega$ and the new ones in $Omeg{a}^{*}$ 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.
