We derive a shape derivative formula for the family of principal Dirichlet eigenvalues λs(Ω) of the fractional Laplacian (−Δ)s associated with bounded open sets Ω⊂RN of class C1,1. This extends, with a help of a new approach, a result in Dalibard and Gérard-Varet (Calc. Var. 19(4):976–1013, 2013) which was restricted to the case s=12. As an application, we consider the maximization problem for λs(Ω) among annular-shaped domains of fixed volume of the type B∖B¯¯¯¯′, where B is a fixed ball and B′ is ball whose position is varied within B. We prove that λs(B∖B¯¯¯¯′) is maximal when the two balls are concentric. Our approach also allows to derive similar results for the fractional torsional rigidity. More generally, we will characterize one-sided shape derivatives for best constants of a family of subcritical fractional Sobolev embeddings.
The present paper is concerned with the half-space Dirichlet problem [...] where ℝ𝑁+:={𝑥∈ℝ𝑁:𝑥𝑁>0} for some 𝑁≥1 and 𝑝>1, 𝑐>0 are constants. We analyse the existence, non-existence and multiplicity of bounded positive solutions to (𝑃𝑐). We prove that the existence and multiplicity of bounded positive solutions to (𝑃𝑐) depend in a striking way on the value of 𝑐>0 and also on the dimension N. We find an explicit number 𝑐𝑝∈(1,𝑒√), depending only on p, which determines the threshold between existence and non-existence. In particular, in dimensions 𝑁≥2, we prove that, for 0<𝑐<𝑐𝑝, problem (𝑃𝑐) admits infinitely many bounded positive solutions, whereas, for 𝑐>𝑐𝑝, there are no bounded positive solutions to (𝑃𝑐).
Existence of nonradial domains for overdetermined and isoperimetric problems in nonconvex cones
(2022)
In this work we address the question of the existence of nonradial domains inside a nonconvex cone for which a mixed boundary overdetermined problem admits a solution. Our approach is variational, and consists in proving the existence of nonradial minimizers, under a volume constraint, of the associated torsional energy functional. In particular we give a condition on the domain D on the sphere spanning the cone which ensures that the spherical sector is not a minimizer. Similar results are obtained for the relative isoperimetric problem in nonconvex cones.
We obtain spectral inequalities and asymptotic formulae for the discrete spectrum of the operator 12log(−Delta) in an open set OmegaERd, d≥2, of finite measure with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We also derive some results regarding lower bounds for the eigenvalue Lambda1(Omega) and compare them with previously known inequalities.
We establish weighted Lp-Fourier extension estimates for O(N−k)×O(k)-invariant functions defined on the unit sphere SN−1, allowing for exponents p below the Stein–Tomas critical exponent 2(N+1)/N−1. Moreover, in the more general setting of an arbitrary closed subgroup G⊂O(N) and G-invariant functions, we study the implications of weighted Fourier extension estimates with regard to boundedness and nonvanishing properties of the corresponding weighted Helmholtz resolvent operator. Finally, we use these properties to derive new existence results for G-invariant solutions to the nonlinear Helmholtz equation −Δu−u = Q(x)|u|p−2u,u∈W2,p(RN), where Q is a nonnegative bounded and G-invariant weight function.
