Abstract:

Denoting by $\mathcal{E}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ the set of the pairs $\big(\lambda_1(\Omega),\,\lambda_2(\Omega)\big)$ for all the open sets $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$ with unit measure, and by $\Theta\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$ the union of two disjoint balls of half measure, we give an elementary proof of the fact that $\partial\mathcal{E}$ has horizontal tangent at its lowest point $\big(\lambda_1(\Theta),\,\lambda_2(\Theta)\big)$.

Keywords: shape optimization, Dirichlet-Laplacian spectrum
