Pólya–Szegő conjecture for the fundamental tone of regular polygons
Pólya–Szegő conjecture for the fundamental tone of regular polygons
Let . An -gon is a polygon with sides, and let denote its first Dirichlet eigenvalue. Among all -gons with fixed area, the regular -gon is the polygon under consideration. Pólya–Szegő conjecture. For each , the regular -gon uniquely minimizes among all -gons with fixed area. This conjecture concerns whether the symmetry of the regular polygon is uniquely distinguished by its fundamental tone. It is known for , by work of Pólya and Szegő, while the cases remain open.
