Abstract

In this paper we prove that among all convex domains of the plane with two axis of symmetry, the maximizer of the first non trivial Neumann eigenvalue μ1\mu_1 with perimeter constraint is achieved by the square and the equilateral triangle. Part of the result follows from a new general bound on μ1\mu_1 involving the minimal width over the area. Our main result partially answers to a question addressed in 2009 by R. S. Laugesen, I. Polterovich, and B. A. Siudeja.
