On a Pólya functional for rhombi, isosceles triangles, and thinning convex sets

Abstract: Let

O m e g a

be an open convex set in

{m a t h b b R}^{m}

with finite width, and let

v_{O m e g a}

be the torsion function for

O m e g a

, i.e. the solution of

- D e l t a v = 1, v i n H_{0}^{1} (O m e g a)

. An upper bound is obtained for the product of

V e r t v_{O m e g a} V e r t_{L^{i n f t y} (O m e g a)} l a m b d a (O m e g a)

, where

l a m b d a (O m e g a)

is the bottom of the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian acting in

L^{2} (O m e g a)

. The upper bound is sharp in the limit of a thinning sequence of convex sets. For planar rhombi and isosceles triangles with area

1

, it is shown that

V e r t v_{O m e g a} V e r t_{L^{1} (O m e g a)} l a m b d a (O m e g a) g e f r a c p i^{2} 24

, and that this bound is sharp.
