Minimising Dirichlet eigenvalues on cuboids of unit measure

Abstract

We consider the minimisation of Dirichlet eigenvalues $\lambda_k$, $k \in \N$, of the Laplacian on cuboids of unit measure in $\R^3$. We prove that any sequence of optimal cuboids in $\R^3$ converges to a cube of unit measure in the sense of Hausdorff as $k \rightarrow \infty$.
