Minimizing Neumann Fundamental Tones of Triangles: an Optimal Poincaré Inequality
نویسنده
چکیده
The first nonzero eigenvalue of the Neumann Laplacian is shown to be minimal for the degenerate acute isosceles triangle, among all triangles of given diameter. Hence an optimal Poincaré inequality for triangles is derived. The proof relies on symmetry of the Neumann fundamental mode for isosceles triangles with aperture less than π/3. Antisymmetry is proved for apertures greater than π/3.

Maximizing Neumann Fundamental Tones of Triangles
We prove sharp isoperimetric inequalities for Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian on triangular domains. The first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue is shown to be maximal for the equilateral triangle among all triangles of given perimeter, and hence among all triangles of given area. Similar results are proved for the harmonic and arithmetic means of the first two nonzero eigenvalues.
متن کاملArea of small disks
This paper considers Riemannian metrics on two dimensional disks where all geodesics are minimizing. A sharp reverse isoperimetric inequality is proven. This in turn yields near optimal bounds for the area of disks as well as near optimal upper bounds on the first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue of the Laplacian in terms only of the radius.
متن کاملOn the uniform Poincaré inequality
We give a proof of the Poincaré inequality in W (Ω) with a constant that is independent of Ω ∈ U , where U is a set of uniformly bounded and uniformly Lipschitz domains in R. As a byproduct, we obtain the following : The first non vanishing eigenvalues λ2(Ω) of the standard Neumann (variational) boundary value problem on Ω for the Laplace operator are bounded below by a positive constant if the...
متن کاملA doubly nonlinear evolution for the optimal Poincaré inequality
We study the large time behavior of solutions of the PDE |vt |p−2vt = pv. A special property of this equation is that the Rayleigh quotient ∫ |Dv(x, t)|pdx/ ∫ |v(x, t)|pdx is nonincreasing in time along solutions. As t tends to infinity, this ratio converges to the optimal constant in Poincaré’s inequality. Moreover, appropriately scaled solutions converge to a function for which equality holds...
متن کاملImproved Poincaré inequalities
Although the Hardy inequality corresponding to one quadratic singularity, with optimal constant, does not admit any extremal function, it is well known that such a potential can be improved, in the sense that a positive term can be added to the quadratic singularity without violating the inequality, and even a whole asymptotic expansion can be build, with optimal constants for each term. This p...
