An inequality à la Szegő-Weinberger for the Laplacian on convex sets

arXiv:1407.7422

Abstract

In this paper we prove a sharp inequality of Szegő-Weinberger type for the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the Laplacian with Neumann boundary conditions. This applies to convex sets with given diameter. Some variants, extensions and limit cases are investigated as well.
