On the Continuity of the Continuous Steiner Symmetrization

Giuseppe Buttazzo

Starting from the Brock's construction of Continuous Steiner Symmetrization of sets, the problem of modifying continuously a given domain up to obtain a ball, preserving its measure and with decreasing first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator, is considered. For a large class of cases it is shown this is possible, while the general question remains still open.

Keywords: Steiner symmetrization, shape optimization, torsional rigidity, first eigenvalue, Gamma-convergence.
