abstract:
We carry on our study of the connection between two shape optimization problems with spectral cost.
On the one hand, we consider the optimal design problem for the survival threshold of a population living in a heterogenous habitat $Omega$;
this problem arises when searching for the optimal shape and location of a shelter zone in order to prevent extinction of the species. On the other hand, we
deal with the spectral drop problem, which consists in minimizing a mixed Dirichlet-Neumann
eigenvalue in a box $Omega$. In a previous paper we proved that the latter one can be
obtained as a singular perturbation of the former, when the region outside the refuge is
more and more hostile. In this paper we sharpen our analysis in case $Omega$ is a planar polygon,
providing quantitative estimates of the optimal level convergence, as well as of the involved
eigenvalues.
