Reuleaux-triangle minimizer conjecture for the planar fixed-diameter 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}\}, let diam(Ω)\operatorname{diam}(\Omega) denote the diameter, and let μ1(Ω)\mu_1(\Omega) be the first eigenvalue of the truncated Laplacian. For d>0d>0, consider

inf{μ1(Ω)ΩK2, diam(Ω)=d}.\inf\{\mu_1(\Omega)\mid \Omega\in\mathcal{K}_2,\ \operatorname{diam}(\Omega)=d\}.

Let a Reuleaux triangle mean the constant-width convex domain generated by an equilateral triangle.

Reuleaux-triangle minimizer conjecture. The Reuleaux triangle is a minimizer for the fixed-diameter problem.

The conjecture is motivated by the Reuleaux triangle's construction from a regular polygon and its being, among Reuleaux polygons, the one described by the source as farthest from a ball. The source does not establish the conjecture.
