A priori estimate for the first eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian
Ryuji Kajikiya · Differential and Integral Equations · 2015
We study the first eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian under the Dirichlet boundary condition. For a convex domain, we give an a priori estimate for the first eigenvalue in terms of the radius $d$ of the maximum ball contained in the domain. As a consequence, we prove that the first eigenvalue diverges to infinity as $p\to\infty$ if the domain is convex and $d\leq 1$. Moreover, we show that in the annulus domain $a 2$.
