The Geometry of Regular Trees with the Faber-Krahn Property
Abstract
In this paper we prove a Faber-Krahn-type inequality for regular
trees and give a complete characterization of extremal trees.
It extends a former result of the author.
The main tools are rearrangements and perturbation of regular trees.
