A sharp curvature lower bound for the first exterior p-harmonic Steklov eigenvalue
Abstract
In this paper, we study the first variational Steklov eigenvalue of the $ p$-Laplace equation on exterior domain $ \Omega^{\text{ext}}$ for $ 1< p <n$. If $ \Omega$ is convex and $ \partial \Omega\in C^{1,1}$, we prove a sharp lower bound in terms of $p$-logarithmic mean of the principal curvatures of $ \partial \Omega$. For the linear case $ p=2$, our estimate reduces to the logarithmic mean bound of Bundrock et al. (arXiv:2511.09490). We also derive an upper bound in terms of a boundary isocapacitary constant. The analysis relies on the established finite energy theory on exterior domains, together with a decay estimate for $p$-harmonic extensions.
