Asymptotic behavior of the first Robin eigenvalue of nonlinear operators

Abstract

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded Lipschitz domain of $\mathbb R^N$, $N\geq 2$. In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the first Robin eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplace operator as $\beta$ goes to $0$ and as $\beta$ goes to $+\infty$, deriving sharp asymptotic expansions of the eigenvalue; the expansion in the Dirichlet limit $\beta\to+\infty$ is obtained under the additional assumption that $\partial\Omega$ is of class $C^{1,1}$.
