Equality characterization for the planar boundary-data eigenvalue inequality

About 4 years old · traced to

Let Ω\Omega be a convex domain in R2\mathbb{R}^2 such that κ1=μ2\kappa_1=\mu_2. Here κ1\kappa_1 denotes the first eigenvalue of the variational problem defined in the paper, μ2\mu_2 is the second Neumann Laplacian eigenvalue, ucu_c is the solution associated with the boundary parameter cc, P(Ω)P(\Omega) is the perimeter, and ∣Ω∣|\Omega| is the area. Planar equality conjecture.

lim⁡c→μ2c∫∂Ωuc dσ≥12P2(Ω)∣Ω∣,\lim_{c\rightarrow \mu_2} c\int_{\partial \Omega}u_c\,d\sigma\geq \genfrac{}{}{}{}{1}{2}\genfrac{}{}{}{}{P^2(\Omega)}{|\Omega|},

with equality if and only if Ω\Omega is a disk or a regular polygon in R2\mathbb{R}^2 with kk sides, where k≥4k\geq 4. Numerical results support this inequality for several classes of convex domains, but the conjecture remains open, particularly the equality characterization.
