The Faber–Krahn inequality for the first eigenvalue of the fractional Dirichlet $p$-Laplacian for triangles and quadrilaterals

Franco Olivares Contador

Vol. 288 (2017), No. 2, 425–434
Abstract

We prove the Faber–Krahn inequality for the first eigenvalue of the fractional Dirichlet p-Laplacian for triangles and quadrilaterals of a given area. The proof is based on a nonlocal Pólya–Szegő inequality under Steiner symmetrization and the continuity of the first eigenvalue of the fractional Dirichlet p-Laplacian with respect to the convergence, in the Hausdorff distance, of convex domains.
