Abstract

We prove the following uniqueness result for the buckling plate: Assume there exists a smooth domain that minimizes the first buckling eigenvalue for a plate among all smooth domains of given volume and connected boundary. Then the domain must be a ball. The proof uses the second domain variation and an inequality by L.E. Payne to establish this result.
