ABSTRACT
The isoperimetric inequality for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator with Robin boundary conditions was recently proved by Daners in the context of Lipschitz sets. This talk introduces a new approach to attack this type of isoperimetric inequalities and is based on recent advances on the regularity theory for general free discontinuity problems. As a consequence, we not only extend isoperimetric inequalities to arbitrary sets, but also obtain a range of new ones.
