Maximizing Neumann Fundamental Tones of Triangles
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Minimizing Neumann Fundamental Tones of Triangles: an Optimal Poincaré Inequality
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.
متن کاملReadily Computable Green’s and Neumann Functions for Symmetry-preserving Triangles
Neumann and Green’s functions of the Laplacian operator on 30-60-90◦ and 45-45-90◦ triangles can be generated with appropriately placed multiple sources/sinks in a rectangular domain. Highly accurate and easily computable Neumann and Green’s function formulas already exist for rectangles. The extension to equilateral triangles is illustrated. In applications, closed-form expressions can be cons...
متن کاملSimilar Triangles, Another Trace of the Golden Ratio
In this paper we investigate similar triangles which are not congruent but have two pair congruent sides. We show that greatest lower bound of values for similarity ratio of such triangles is golden ratio. For right triangles, we prove that the supremum of values for similarity ratio is the square root of the golden ratio.
متن کاملLatency of evoked
For sinusoidal tone stimuli it has been observed that the latency of the auditory evoked M100 peak, detected by magnetoencephalography (MEG) encodes the frequency of the tone stimulus. Low frequency tones (~100 Hz) are associated with latencies ~30 ms later than corresponding high frequency tones (~1 kHz) across a wide range of signal amplitudes.1,2 Subsequent studies have demonstrated that the...
متن کاملNeumann Eigenvalue Sums on Triangles Are (mostly) Minimal for Equilaterals
We prove that among all triangles of given diameter, the equilateral triangle minimizes the sum of the first n eigenvalues of the Neumann Laplacian, when n 3 . The result fails for n = 2 , because the second eigenvalue is known to be minimal for the degenerate acute isosceles triangle (rather than for the equilateral) while the first eigenvalue is 0 for every triangle. We show the third eigenva...
