Banuelos and Burdzy's width conjecture for multiple Neumann eigenvalues
Let be a convex domain. Let denote its first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue, let be its diameter, and let be its width, defined by
where
Ba~{n}uelos and Burdzy's conjecture. If has multiplicity , then
Nadirashvili proved that the multiplicity of the first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue is at most , and Ba~{n}uelos and Burdzy proved simplicity when the width-to-diameter ratio is at most . Their conjecture proposes a stronger necessary lower bound for the ratio whenever the first eigenvalue is not simple.
