Optimisation of the Lowest Robin Eigenvalue in the Exterior of a Compact Set
Journal of convex analysis, Tome 25 (2018) no. 1, pp. 319-337
We consider the problem of geometric optimisation of the lowest eigenvalue of the Laplacian in the exterior of a compact planar set, subject to attractive Robin boundary conditions. Under either a constraint of fixed perimeter or area, we show that the maximiser within the class of exteriors of convex sets is always the exterior of a disk. We also argue why the results fail without the convexity constraint and in higher dimensions.
