The spectral drop problem

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider spectral optimization problems of the form minBig{lambda_1(Omega;D): Omegasubset D, |Omega|=1Big}, where D is a given subset of the Euclidean space mathbbRd. Here lambda1(Omega;D) is the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator Delta with Dirichlet conditions on partialOmegacapD and Neumann or Robin conditions on partialOmegacappartialD. The equivalent variational formulation lambda_1(Omega;D)=minleft{int_Omega| abla u|^2,dx+kint_{partial D}u^2,dmathcal{H}^{d-1} : uin H^1(D), u=0hbox{ on }partialOmegacap D, |u|_{L^2(Omega)}=1 ight} reminds the classical drop problems, where the first eigenvalue replaces the total variation functional. We prove an existence result for general shape cost functionals and we show some qualitative properties of the optimal domains.
