A global Lipschitz continuity result for a domain-dependent Neumann eigenvalue problem for the Laplace operator

Let Ω be an open connected subset of Rn of finite measure for which the Poincaré-Wirtinger inequality holds. We consider the Neumann eigenvalue problem for the Laplace operator in the open subset φ(Ω) of Rn, where φ is a locally Lipschitz continuous homeomorphism of Ω onto φ(Ω). Then, we show Lipschitz-type inequalities for the reciprocals of the eigenvalues delivered by the Rayleigh quotient. Then, we further assume that the imbedding of the Sobolev space W1,2(Ω) into the space L2(Ω) is compact, and we prove the same type of inequalities for the projections onto the eigenspaces upon variation of φ.
