Numerical Minimization of Dirichlet Laplacian Eigenvalues of Four-Dimensional Geometries

We develop the first numerical study in four dimensions of optimal eigenmodes associated with the Dirichlet Laplacian. We describe an extension of the method of fundamental solutions adapted to the four-dimensional context. Based on our numerical simulation and a postprocessing adapted to the identification of relevant symmetries, we provide and discuss the numerical description of the eighth first optimal domains.
