We prove that in the sub-class of manifolds with the Gauss curvature bounded from above by a constant $K_circ ge 0$ and under the constraint of fixed perimeter, the geodesic disk of constant curvature $K_circ$ maximizes the lowest Robin eigenvalue. In the same geometric setting, it is proved that the spectral isoperimetric inequality holds for the lowest eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator. Finally, we adapt our methods to Robin Laplacians acting on unbounded three-dimensional cones to show that, under a constraint of fixed perimeter of the cross-section, the lowest Robin eigenvalue is maximized by the circular cone.","PeriodicalId":48789,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spectral Theory","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46533425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed algorithm solely depends on the Hessenberg matrix associated to the original data. The robustness of the algorithm is reflected by the insensitivity of the output under trace class, or by a theorem of Voiculescu, under certain Hilbert-Schmidt class, additive perturbations of the Hessenberg matrix.","PeriodicalId":48789,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spectral Theory","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44530116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
