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 $Omegasubseteqmathbb{R}^n$ is a bounded $C^{1,1}$ domain and $mathcal{W}^{2,infty}(Omega)$ is a class of weakly twice differentiable functions satisfying either $u=0$ or $u=|mathrmDu|=0$ on $partialOmega$. Our first main result, obtained through approximation by $L^p$-problems as $poinfty$, is the existence of a minimiser $u_{i}nftyinmathcal{W}^{2,infty}(Omega)$ 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 $f_{i}nftyin{L}^1(Omega)capB{V}_{extloc}(Omega)$ and a measure $m{u}_{i}nftyinmathcalM(Omega)$, for either choice of boundary conditions. Here Sgn is the multi-valued sign function. We also study the dependence of the eigenvalue $Lambd{a}_{i}nfty$ 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 $OmegamapstoLambd{a}_{i}nfty(Omega)$. This result is shown to hold true for either choice of boundary conditions and in every dimension.
