On the Hong–Krahn–Szego inequality for the p-Laplace operator

Given an open set Ω , we consider the problem of providing sharp lower bounds for λ 2 ( Ω ), i.e. its second Dirichlet eigenvalue of the p -Laplace operator. After presenting the nonlinear analogue of the Hong–Krahn–Szego inequality , asserting that the disjoint unions of two equal balls minimize λ...

Description
Summary:Given an open set Ω , we consider the problem of providing sharp lower bounds for λ 2 ( Ω ), i.e. its second Dirichlet eigenvalue of the p -Laplace operator. After presenting the nonlinear analogue of the Hong–Krahn–Szego inequality , asserting that the disjoint unions of two equal balls minimize λ 2 among open sets of given measure, we improve this spectral inequality by means of a quantitative stability estimate. The extremal cases p = 1 and p = ∞ are considered as well.
