For any given family of open bounded sets of $\\R^N$ ($N\\ge 2$) smoothly converging to a ball, it is well known that both $\\delta\\lambda$ and the isoperimetric deficit $\\delta P$ are vanishing quantities. It is known as well that, at least for convex sets, the ratio $\\frac{\\delta P}{\\delta \\lambda}$ is bounded by below by some positive constant (see \\cite{BNT,PW}), and in this note, using the technique of the shape derivative, we provide the explicit optimal lower bound of such a ratio as $\\delta P$ goes to zero.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-01-30T11:25:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35P15", "49R05", "35J25" ], "keywords": [ "fundamental frequency", "isoperimetric result", "domain derivative", "open bounded set", "first dirichlet laplacian eigenvalue achieves" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1201.5328N" } } }
