Bounds for the first eigenvalue of the elastically supported membrane on convex domains

by R. Sperb

(Report number 2003-03)

Abstract
Barta's principle and gradient boudns for the torsion function are the main tools for deriving lower bounds for the first eigenvalue. The optimal domains are an infinite strip, a disk or an annulus in different situations.

Keywords: Eigenvalues of the Laplacian, Robin boundary conditions
