AbstractWe show a Lichnerowicz-Obata type estimate for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian of n-dimensional closed Riemannian manifolds with an almost parallel p-form ($$2\le p \le n/2$$ 2 ≤ p ≤ n / 2 ) in $$L^2$$ L 2 -sense, and give a Gromov-Hausdorff approximation to a product $$S^{n-p}\times X$$ S n - p × X under some pinching conditions when $$2\le p<n/2$$ 2 ≤ p < n / 2 .

We give some estimates of the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian for compact and non-compact submanifold immersed in the Euclidean space by using the square length of the second fundamental form of the submanifold merely. Then some spherical theorems and a nonimmersibility theorem of Chern and Kuiper type can be obtained.

Optimization of a second-order multiply-connected inhomogeneous boundary-value problem was considered in terms of elastic torsion. External boundary and material proportions are the applied constraints in finding optimal internal configurations of the cross section. The optimization procedure is based on the numerical simulation of the membrane analogy and the results obtained indicate that the procedure is usable as an engineering tool. Optimal solutions are obtained for some representative cases of the torsion problem and they are presented in the form of tables and figures.
