An isoperimetric inequality for the first Steklov–Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalue of convex sets with a spherical hole

We prove the existence of a maximum for the first Steklov–Dirichlet eigenvalue in the class of convex sets with a fixed spherical hole, under volume constraint. More precisely, if $Ω = Ω_{0} ∖ {\bar{B}}_{R_{1}}$ , where $B_{R_{1}}$ is the ball centered at the origin with radius $R_{1} > 0$ and $Ω_{0} \subset ℝ^{n}$ , $n \geq 2$ , is an open, bounded and convex set such that $B_{R_{1}} ⋐ Ω_{0}$ , then the first Steklov–Dirichlet eigenvalue $σ_{1} (Ω)$ has a maximum when $R_{1}$ and the measure of $Ω$ are fixed. Moreover, if $Ω_{0}$ is contained in a suitable ball, we prove that the spherical shell is the maximum.
