Yingxin Sun · Analysis in Theory and Applications · 2025
Let $\Omega$ be a domain with a hole containing the origin in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $u$ be a solution to the problem \[ -\Delta u=\mu u \quad \text{in } \Omega,\quad \partial_{ u}u=0,\quad u=c \quad \text{on } \partial^{\pm}\Omega, \]where $\partial^{\pm}\Omega$ represents the outer and inner boundaries of $\Omega,$ respectively, $c$ is a constant. Let ${\mu}_k$ denote the $k{\rm th}$ Neumann eigenvalue of the Laplacian on $\Omega$ and${\Omega}_h$ is the hole. We establish that if $\mu
