Author Description

In a previous Memoirs of the AMS, vol. 92, #448, the last two authors analyzed the second variation of the Robin function −λ(t) associated to a smooth variation of domains in Cn for n ≥ 2. There D=⋃t∈B(t,D(t))⊂B×Cn was a variation of domains D(t) in Cn each containing a fixed point z0 and with ∂D(t) of class C∞ for B:={t∈C:|t|
