Abstract
Inspired by a recent result of Funano's, we provide a sharp quantitative comparison result between the first nontrivial eigenvalues of the Neumann Laplacian on bounded convex domains in any dimension greater than or equal to two, recovering domain monotonicity up to an explicit multiplicative factor. We provide upper and lower bounds for such multiplicative factors for higher-order eigenvalues, and study their behaviour with respect to the dimension and order. We further consider different scenarios where convexity is no longer imposed. In a final section we formulate some related open problems.
