Equilateral triangle conjecture for torsional rigidity under minimal width
Equilateral triangle conjecture for torsional rigidity under minimal width
Let be a convex domain in with unit minimal width. Let solve
Its torsional rigidity is
Equilateral triangle torsional-rigidity conjecture. The equilateral triangle of unit width minimizes the torsional rigidity among shapes having unit minimal width.
The conjecture is motivated by comparison with classical optimization problems for Dirichlet-Laplace eigenvalues and torsional rigidity, together with numerical simulations. Its resolution is not supplied here.
