Upper bounds for the Steklov eigenvalues of the $p$-Laplacian
Luigi Provenzano · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2021
In this note we present upper bounds for the variational eigenvalues of the Steklov $p$-Laplacian on domains of $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 2$. We show that for $1n$ upper bounds depend on a geometric constant $D(Ω)$, the $(n-1)$-distortion of $Ω$ which quantifies the concentration of the boundary measure. We prove that the presence of this constant is necessary in the upper estimates for $p>n$ and that the corresponding inequality is sharp, providing examples of domains with boundary measure uniformly bounded away from zero and infinity and arbitrarily large variational eigenvalues.
