A reverse Faber--Krahn inequality for the Robin Laplacian with negative boundary parameter: small coupling in all dimensions

Nunzia Gavitone, David Krejcirik, Gloria Paoli

We establish Bareket's conjecture from 1977 for convex domains in all dimensions in the regime of weak boundary coupling. In other words, we consider the Laplace operator, subject…

The Makai inequality in higher dimensions: qualitative and quantitative aspects

Vincenzo Amato, Nunzia Gavitone, Rossano Sannipoli

In this paper, given a convex, bounded, open set we prove a sharp inequality involving the Laplacian torsional rigidity and both the perimeter and the meas…

On the Effectless Cut Method for Laplacian Eigenvalues in any dimensions

Vincenzo Amato, Nunzia Gavitone, Francesca de Giovanni

In this paper, we study the optimization of the first Laplacian eigenvalue on axisymmetric doubly connected domains under positive Robin boundary conditions. Under additional geome…

On the optimal sets in Pólya and Makai type inequalities

Vincenzo Amato, Nunzia Gavitone, Rossano Sannipoli

In this paper, we examine some shape functionals, introduced by Pólya and Makai, involving the torsional rigidity and the first Dirichlet-Laplacian eigenvalue for bounded, open an…

Sharp estimates for the Laplacian torsional rigidity with negative Robin boundary conditions

Nunzia Gavitone, David Krejcirik, Gloria Paoli

Motivated by pioneering works of Bandle and Wagner, given a bounded Lipschitz domain with , we consider the Robin-Laplacian torsional rigidity $τ_α…

On the Serrin's problem with Robin boundary conditions

Nunzia Gavitone, Riccardo Molinarolo

Let , , be an open, connected, bounded set with boundary. In this paper we consider the torsion problem with Robin boundary conditions and we…
