In this paper we study the first Steklov-Laplacian eigenvalue with an internal fixed spherical obstacle. We prove that the spherical shell locally maximizes the first eigenvalue among nearly spherical sets when both the internal ball and the volume are fixed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
