Abstract:
We discuss a strict Faber-Krahn-type inequality (under the polarisations) for the first the eigenvalue of the p-Laplace operator satisfying mixed boundary conditions on domains with holes. As an application, we prove the strict monotonicity of the first eigenvalue with respect to certain variations of an obstacle inside a doubly connected domain.
