Abstract
Let \(\Omega \) be a smooth bounded domain in \({\mathbb {R}}^2\) and \(W_0^{1, 2}(\Omega )\) be the usual Sobolev space. Assume that \(0<\lambda _1(\Omega )<\lambda _2(\Omega )<\cdots \) are all distinct eigenvalues of the Laplace–Beltrami operator \(-\Delta \). Denote the eigenfunction space with respect to \(\lambda _j(\Omega )\) by \(E_{\lambda _j(\Omega )}\) for any integer \(j\ge 1\). For any \(\ell \ge 1\), we define
We shall prove that there exists some constant \(\alpha _0\) with \(0<\alpha _0<\lambda _{\ell +1}(\Omega )\) such that when \(0\le \alpha \le \alpha _0\), the supremum
can be attained. This complements the result of Lu and Yang (Discrete Contin Dyn Syst 25:963–979, 2009).
