On functionals involving the $p$-capacity and the $q$-torsional rigidity

Abstract

Upper bounds are obtained for the $p$-capacity of compact sets in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$, with $d\ge 2$ and $1<p<d$. Upper and lower bounds are obtained for the product of $p$-capacity and powers of the $q$-torsional rigidity over the collection of all non-empty, open, bounded and convex sets in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ with either a perimeter constraint, or a measure constraint, or a combination of perimeter and measure constraints. For some range of parameters we identify the ball as the unique (up to homotheties) maximiser or minimiser respectively.
