On the optimization of the first weighted eigenvalue
2021
For $N\geq 2$, a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, and $g_0, V_0 \in L^1_{loc}(\Omega)$, we study the optimization of the first eigenvalue for the following weighted eigenvalue problem: \begin{align*}
-\Delta_p \phi + V |\phi|^{p-2}\phi = \lambda g |\phi|^{p-2}\phi \text{ in } \Omega, \quad \phi=0 \text{ on } \partial \Omega, \end{align*} where $g$ and $V$ vary over the rearrangement classes of $g_0$ and $V_0$, respectively. We prove the existence of a minimizing pair $(\underline{g},\underline{V})$ and a maximizing pair $(\overline{g},\overline{V})$ for $g_0$ and $V_0$ lying in certain Lebesgue spaces.
We obtain various qualitative properties such as polarization invariance, Steiner symmetry of the minimizers as well as the associated eigenfunctions for the case $p=2$. For annular domains, we prove that the minimizers and the corresponding eigenfunctions possess the foliated Schwarz symmetry.
