Nonattainment conjecture for the planar fixed-perimeter truncated-Laplacian problem

Let

K2={ΩR2Ω is open, bounded and convex},\mathcal{K}_2=\{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2\mid \Omega\text{ is open, bounded and convex}\},

and let P(Ω)P(\Omega) denote the perimeter and μ1(Ω)\mu_1(\Omega) the first eigenvalue of the truncated Laplacian. Fix c>0c>0.

Fixed-perimeter nonattainment conjecture. The minimization problem

inf{μ1(Ω)ΩK2, P(Ω)=c}\inf\{\mu_1(\Omega)\mid \Omega\in\mathcal{K}_2,\ P(\Omega)=c\}

does not admit a solution. A minimizing sequence is given by rectangles of constant perimeter with one side length tending to zero.

The conjecture is motivated by the preceding nonexistence result for the fixed-volume problem. The source gives no resolution, and identifies the proposed degenerating rectangles as a minimizing sequence.
