An isoperimetric inequality for the principal eigenvalue of the Laplacian with drift
[Une inégalité isopérimétrique pour la valeur propre principale du laplacien avec transport]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 340 (2005) no. 5, pp. 347-352.

Nous généralisons l'inégalité classique de Rayleigh–Faber–Krahn au cas du laplacien Dirichlet avec un terme de transport. Nous résolvons également des problèmes d'optimisation pour la valeur propre principale de l'opérateur Δ+v dans un domaine fixé et avec un contrôle L sur le terme de transport v.

We generalize the classical Rayleigh–Faber–Krahn inequality to the case of the Dirichlet Laplacian with a drift. We also solve some optimization problems for the principal eigenvalue of the operator Δ+v in a fixed domain with a control of the drift v in L.
