Abstract

We study the first positive Neumann eigenvalue μ1 of the Laplace operator on a planar domain Ω. We are particularly interested in how the size of μ1 depends on the size and geometry of Ω. A notion of the intrinsic diameter of Ω is proposed and various examples are provided to illustrate the effect of the intrinsic diameter and its interplay with the geometry of the domain.
