Two isoperimetric inequalities for the Sobolev constant

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this note, we prove two isoperimetric inequalities for the sharp constant in the Sobolev embedding and its associated extremal function. The first inequality is a variation on the classical Schwarz Lemma from complex analysis, similar to recent inequalities of Burckel, Marshall, Minda, Poggi-Corradini, and Ransford, while the second generalizes an isoperimetric inequality for the first eigenfunction of the Laplacian due to Payne and Rayner.
