Parini's sharp Cheeger inequality conjecture for triangles

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let △\triangle be a triangle, let λ1(△)\lambda_1(\triangle) be its first Dirichlet eigenvalue, and let

h(△)=∣∂△∣+4π∣△∣2∣△∣h(\triangle)=\frac{|\partial\triangle|+\sqrt{4\pi|\triangle|}}{2|\triangle|}

be its Cheeger constant. Parini's triangle conjecture. For any triangle △\triangle,

λ1(△)h(△)2≥4π2(3+π3)2≈1.3885,\frac{\lambda_1(\triangle)}{h(\triangle)^2}\geq\frac{4\pi^2}{\left(3+\sqrt{\pi\sqrt{3}}\right)^2}\approx1.3885,

where equality holds if and only if △\triangle is equilateral. This is the triangular specialization of the conjectured regular-polygon minimization, and the source gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
