Sharp estimates for eigenfunctions of a Neumann problem
2009
In this paper we provide some bounds for the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded domain Ω of R^n. To this aim we use the so-called symmetrization techniques and the obtained estimates are asymptotically sharp, at least in the bidimensional case, when the isoperimetric constant relative to Ω goes to 0.
Symmetrization for singular semilinear elliptic equations
2012
In this paper, we prove some comparison results for the solution to a Dirichlet problem associated with a singular elliptic equation and we study how the summability of such a solution varies depending on the summability of the datum f. © 2012 Fondazione Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata and Springer-Verlag.
Optimal lower bounds for eigenvalues of linear and nonlinear Neumann problems
2013
In this paper we prove a sharp lower bound for the first non-trivial Neumann eigenvalue μ1(Ω) for the p-Laplace operator (p > 1) in a Lipschitz bounded domain Ω in ℝn. Our estimate does not require any convexity assumption on Ω and it involves the best isoperimetric constant relative to Ω. In a suitable class of convex planar domains, our bound turns out to be better than the one provided by the Payne—Weinberger inequality.
Some applications of the Chambers isoperimetric inequality
2022
In this paper, using the Chambers isoperimetric inequality, we introduce the notion of weighted rearrangement of a function associated to the measure $f dx$, where $f(x)=e^{g(|x|)}$ for $x \in \mathbb{R}^n}$, with $g$ smooth, convex and even. Then we give some of its applications to variational inequalities and PDEs via weighted symmetrization.
The equality case in a Poincaré–Wirtinger type inequality
2016
It is known that, for any convex planar set W, the first non-trivial Neumann eigenvalue μ1 (Ω) of the Hermite operator is greater than or equal to 1. Under the additional assumption that Ω is contained in a strip, we show that β1 (Ω) = 1 if and only if Ω is any strip. The study of the equality case requires, among other things, an asymptotic analysis of the eigenvalues of the Hermite operator in thin domains.
Estimates for Sums of Eigenvalues of the Free Plate via the Fourier Transform

Using the Fourier transform, we obtain upper bounds for sums of eigenvalues of the free plate.
Sharp Poincaré inequalities in a class of non-convex sets
2018
Let $gamma$ be a smooth, non-closed, simple curve whose image is symmetric with respect to the $y$-axis, and let $D$ be a planar domain consisting of the points on one side of $gamma$, within a suitable distance $delta$ of $gamma$. Denote by $mu_1^{odd}(D)$ the smallest nontrivial Neumann eigenvalue having a corresponding eigenfunction that is odd with respect to the $y$-axis. If $gamma$ satisfies some simple geometric conditions, then $mu_1^{odd}(D)$ can be sharply estimated from below in terms of the length of $gamma$ , its curvature, and $delta$. Moreover, we give explicit conditions on $delta$ that ensure $mu_1^{odd}(D)=mu_1(D)$. Finally, we can extend our bound on $mu_1^{odd}(D)$ to a …
An optimal Poincaré-Wirtinger inequality in Gauss space
2013
International audience; Let $\Omega$ be a smooth, convex, unbounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^N$. Denote by $\mu_1(\Omega)$ the first nontrivial Neumann eigenvalue of the Hermite operator in $\Omega$; we prove that $\mu_1(\Omega) \ge 1$. The result is sharp since equality sign is achieved when $\Omega$ is a $N$-dimensional strip. Our estimate can be equivalently viewed as an optimal Poincaré-Wirtinger inequality for functions belonging to the weighted Sobolev space $H^1(\Omega,d\gamma_N)$, where $\gamma_N$ is the $N$% -dimensional Gaussian measure.
A remark on the radial minimizer of the Ginzburg-Landau functional

Let Omega subset of R-2 be a bounded domain with the same area as the unit disk B-1 and letE-epsilon(u, Omega) = 1/2 integral(Omega) vertical bar del u vertical bar(2) dx + 1/4 epsilon(2) integral(Omega) (vertical bar u vertical bar(2) - 1)(2) dxbe the Ginzburg-Landau functional.

Local behaviour of singular solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations in divergence form
2012
We consider the following class of nonlinear elliptic equations $$\begin{array}{ll}{-}{\rm div}(\mathcal{A}(|x|)\nabla u) +u^q=0\quad {\rm in}\; B_1(0)\setminus\{0\}, \end{array}$$ where q > 1 and $${\mathcal{A}}$$ is a positive C 1(0,1] function which is regularly varying at zero with index $${\vartheta}$$ in (2−N,2). We prove that all isolated singularities at zero for the positive solutions are removable if and only if $${\Phi\not\in L^q(B_1(0))}$$ , where $${\Phi}$$ denotes the fundamental solution of $${-{\rm div}(\mathcal{A}(|x|)\nabla u)=\delta_0}$$ in $${\mathcal D'(B_1(0))}$$ and δ0 is the Dirac mass at 0. Moreover, we give a complete classification of the behaviour near zero of al…
Existence of minimizers for eigenvalues of the Dirichlet-Laplacian with a drift
2015
Abstract This paper deals with the eigenvalue problem for the operator L = − Δ − x ⋅ ∇ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We are interested in proving the existence of a set minimizing any eigenvalue λ k of L under a suitable measure constraint suggested by the structure of the operator. More precisely we prove that for any c > 0 and k ∈ N the following minimization problem min { λ k ( Ω ) : Ω quasi-open set , ∫ Ω e | x | 2 / 2 d x ≤ c } has a solution.
