We provide a fairly complete answer to this question in dimension n = 2 on disks and squares. We also give a positive answer to the problem for the second eigenvalue on balls in Rn. The proofs are based on a suitable framework of problem and on a new degenerate implicit function theorem on Banach spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-05-10T23:17:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J25", "35Pxx", "47A75" ], "keywords": [ "laplace operator", "smoothness problem", "degenerate implicit function theorem", "one-parameter c1 perturbations", "banach spaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
