On the buckling eigenvalue of unbounded cylinders
Paolo Acampora, Emanuele Cristoforoni, Carlo Nitsch +1
We variationally characterize the bottom of the spectrum of the buckling problem in an infinite cylinder , where is an open bounded subset of $\mathbb{…
Symmetry-breaking and local stability of a two-phase eigenvalue problem in optimal insulation
Emanuele Cristoforoni, Federico Villone
We consider the first eigenvalue, , of a two-phase eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions, where the two phases are characterised by diffe…
Remarks on the reinforcement of the spectrum of an elliptic problem with Robin boundary condition
Emanuele Cristoforoni, Federico Villone
We investigate the spectral properties of a differential elliptic operator on , where is a smooth domain surrounded by a layer . The thickness of the l…
On the classical Reinforcement problem and Optimisation
Emanuele Cristoforoni, Carlo Nitsch, Cristina Trombetti
In the present survey, we consider the classical reinforcement problem for elliptic boundary value problems originally studied by Sanchez-Palencia in 1969. We focus on the seminar…
An improved version of a spectral inequality by Payne
Paolo Acampora, Emanuele Cristoforoni, Carlo Nitsch +1
A celebrated inequality by Payne relates the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian to the first eigenvalue of the buckling problem. Motivated by the goal of establishing a qu…
Estimates on the Neumann and Steklov principal eigenvalues of collapsing domains
Paolo Acampora, Vincenzo Amato, Emanuele Cristoforoni
We investigate the relationship between the Neumann and Steklov principal eigenvalues emerging from the study of collapsing convex domains in . Such a relationship al…
