چکیده
In this paper, we are interested in the minimization of the second eigenvalue of the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions amongst convex plane domains with given area. The natural candidate to be the optimum was the “stadium”, convex hull of two identical tangent disks. We refute this conjecture. Nevertheless, we prove existence of a minimzer. We also study some qualitative properties of the minimizer (regularity, geometric properties).

Critical potentials of the eigenvalues and eigenvalue gaps of Schrödinger operators
Abstract. Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold with or without boundary, and let −∆ be its Laplace-Beltrami operator. For any bounded scalar potential q, we denote by λi(q) the i-th eigenvalue of the Schrödinger type operator −∆+ q acting on functions with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions in case ∂M 6= ∅. We investigate critical potentials of the eigenvalues λi and the eigenvalue gaps...
متن کاملAbout Hölder-regularity of the convex shape minimizing 2
In this paper, we consider the well-known following shape optimization problem: λ2(Ω ∗) = min |Ω|=V0 Ω convex λ2(Ω), where λ2(Ω) denotes the second eigenvalue of the Laplace operator with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions in Ω ⊂ R, and |Ω| is the area of Ω. We prove, under some technical assumptions, that any optimal shape Ω∗ is C 1 2 and is not C for any α > 1 2 . We also derive from o...
متن کاملA Second Eigenvalue Bound for the Dirichlet Schrödinger Operator
Let λi(Ω, V ) be the ith eigenvalue of the Schrödinger operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded domain Ω ⊂ R and with the positive potential V . Following the spirit of the Payne-Pólya-Weinberger conjecture and under some convexity assumptions on the spherically rearranged potential V⋆, we prove that λ2(Ω, V ) ≤ λ2(S1, V⋆). Here S1 denotes the ball, centered at the origin, that ...
متن کاملSingular Asymptotic Expansions for Dirichlet Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on Thin Planar Domains
We consider the Laplace operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a planar domain and study the effect that performing a scaling in one direction has on the spectrum. We derive the asymptotic expansion for the eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions as a function of the scaling parameter around zero. This method allows us, for instance, to obtain an approximation for the first Dirichl...
متن کاملAsymptotics and Estimates for Eigenelements of Laplacian with Frequent Nonperiodic Interchange of Boundary Conditions
We consider singular perturbed eigenvalue problem for Laplace operator in a two-dimensional domain. In the boundary we select a set depending on a character small parameter and consisting of a great number of small disjoint parts. On this set the Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed while on the rest part of the boundary we impose the Neumann condition. For the case of homogenized Neumann or...
