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{…
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…
On some functionals involving torsional rigidity, principal eigenvalue and perimeter
Vincenzo Amato, Carlo Nitsch, Cristina Trombetti +1
In this paper we study some relationships between the first Dirichlet eigenvalue and the torsional rigidity of a domain . We consider the problem of optimizing…
On the second eigenvalue of the infinity Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions
Vincenzo Amato, Alba Lia Masiello, Carlo Nitsch +1
We study the behaviour, as , of the second eigenvalues of the -Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions and the limit of the associated eigenfunctions. We prove t…
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…
