Upper and lower bounds for the first Robin eigenvalue of nonlinear elliptic operators

Abstract

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded, smooth domain of $\mathbb R^N$, $N\ge 2$. In this paper, we prove some inequalities involving the first Robin eigenvalue of the $p$-laplacian operator. In particular, we prove an upper bound for the first Robin eigenvalue of nonlinear elliptic operators in terms of the first Dirichlet eigenvalue.
