An inequality between Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues in a centrally symmetric domain (Q2718971)

Let \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n\) be a centrally symmetric domain. The paper deals with the comparison of the lowest non-zero eigenvalue for the Neumann Laplacian in \(\Omega\) for an even eigenfunction with respect to the central symmetry, and the lowest eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian in \(\Omega\) for an odd eigenfunction with respect to the same symmetry.
