Mathematical analysis demonstrates shape optimization conditions for eigenvalue-rigidity functionals in geometric domains, highlighting spherical stability criteria.
In this paper we study some relationships between the first Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalue Λ (Ω ) Λ ( Ω ) and the torsional rigidity T(Ω ) T ( Ω ) of a domain Ω Ω . We consider the problem of optimizing the product Λ (Ω )T(Ω ) Λ ( Ω ) T ( Ω ) among sets with prescribed perimeter, both in the class of open sets with finite perimeter and within the class of convex domains. We also characterize the values of $$q>0$$ q > 0 for which the ball is a stable local minimizer or maximizer of the quantity Λ (Ω )T(Ω )q Λ ( Ω ) T ( Ω ) q , under either a volume or a perimeter constraint.
