We show various optimization results for the principal eigenvalue of general uniformly elliptic second order operators under Dirichlet boundary condition in C² bounded domains of Rⁿ. In particular, we obtain a “Faber-Krahn” type inequality for these operators, which generalizes the Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn inequality for the principal eigenvalue of the Laplacian. The proofs use a new rearrangement method. This is joint work with François Hamel and Nikolai Nadirashvili.
