In this paper we consider estimates of the Raleigh quotient and in general of the $H^{1,p}$-eigenvalue in quasicylindrical domains. Then we apply the results to obtain, by variational methods, existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of the Dirichlet problem for second-order elliptic equations in divergent form. For such solutions global boundedness estimates have been also established.
