Abstract:

In this paper we study the behavior of the second eigenfunction of the anisotropic $p$-Laplace operator \[ - Q_{p}u:=-\textrm{div} \left(F^{p-1}(\nabla u)F_\xi (\nabla u)\right), \] as $p \to 1^+$, where $F$ is a suitable smooth norm of $\mathbb R^{n}$. Moreover, for any regular set $\Omega$, we define the second anisotropic Cheeger constant as \begin{equation} h{2,F}(\Omega):=\inf \left\{ \max\left\{\frac{P{F}(E{1})}{
E
{1}
},\frac{P
{F}(E{2})}{
E
{2}
}\right\},\;
E{1},E{2}\subset \Omega, E{1}\cap E{2}=\emptyset\right\}, \end{equation
} where $P_{F}(E)$ is the anisotropic perimeter of $E$, and study the connection with the second eigenvalue of the anisotropic $p$-Laplacian. Finally, we study the twisted anisotropic $q$-Cheeger constant with a volume constraint.
