Laugesen's perimeter-normalized Neumann eigenvalue conjecture for convex planar domains

Let Ω\Omega be a convex domain in R2\mathbb{R}^2, let L(Ω)L(\Omega) denote its perimeter, and let μ2(Ω)\mu_2(\Omega) be its first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue. Laugesen's conjecture.

L(Ω)2μ2(Ω)16π2.L(\Omega)^2\,\mu_2(\Omega)\le 16\pi^2.

Equality is attained only for squares and equilateral triangles.

This conjecture asks for the sharp perimeter-normalized upper bound for the first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue among convex planar domains. It was verified by A. Raiko for parallelograms subject to certain geometric restrictions, but the general convex-domain statement remains unresolved.
