Abstract: Let $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^d$, $dgeq2$, be a bounded convex domain and $fcolonOmegaomathbbR$ be a non-negative subharmonic function. In this paper we prove the inequality [ frac{1}{|Omega|}int_Omega f(x),dx leq frac{d}{|partialOmega|}int_{partialOmega} f(x),dsigma(x),. ] Equivalently, the result can be stated as a bound for the gradient of the Saint Venant torsion function. Specifically, if $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^d$ is a bounded convex domain and $u$ is the solution of $-Deltau=1$ with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, then [ | abla u|_{L^infty(Omega)} < dfrac{|Omega|}{|partialOmega|},. ] Moreover, both inequalities are sharp in the sense that if the constant $d$ is replaced by something smaller there exist convex domains for which the inequalities fail. This improves upon the recent result that the optimal constant is bounded from above by $d^{3/2}$ due to Beck et al.
