Abstract
The classical isoperimetric inequality asserts that the sphere encloses the largest volume with a given surface area, but we can pretty much ask the problem of optimising any quantity with a given geometrical constraint. We will review existing results for the problem of optimising the kth-eigenvalue of the Laplacian with various boundary conditions subject to volume constraint. We will then discuss the problem of optimising the first nonzero eigenvalue of a certain coupled ODE that is motivated by the sloshing problem in fluid dynamics.Download:Talk_1131203.pdf
