Monotonicity conjecture for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of parallel bodies
Monotonicity conjecture for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of parallel bodies
Let be a convex body, let denote its inradius, and write for its parallel body. Let be the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian on , and let be its first normalized eigenfunction. Monotonicity conjecture. For every , the function
is monotonically decreasing on . As a consequence,
with equality if and only if is a tangential body. Numerical simulations suggest that this analogue of the Cheeger-constant monotonicity theorem may hold, but the source provides no proof or resolution.
