Existence conjecture for the planar fixed-diameter truncated-Laplacian problem

About 6 years old · traced to

Let

K2={Ω⊂R2∣Ω is open, bounded and convex},\mathcal{K}_2=\{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2\mid \Omega\text{ is open, bounded and convex}\},

and let diam⁡(Ω)\operatorname{diam}(\Omega) denote the diameter and μ1(Ω)\mu_1(\Omega) the first eigenvalue of the truncated Laplacian. Fix d>0d>0.

Fixed-diameter existence conjecture. The minimization problem

inf⁡{μ1(Ω)∣Ω∈K2, diam⁡(Ω)=d}\inf\{\mu_1(\Omega)\mid \Omega\in\mathcal{K}_2,\ \operatorname{diam}(\Omega)=d\}

admits a solution.

The source studies compactness of minimizing sequences under the diameter constraint and indicates that a minimizer should exist, subject to the regularity issue for eigenfunctions. No resolution is stated.
