The second Dirichlet eigenvalue is simple on every non-equilateral triangle, Part ii: Nearly equilateral triangles
摘要
This paper solves the open problem of the simplicity of the second Dirichlet eigenvalue for nearly equilateral triangles, offering a complete solution to Conjecture 6.47 posed by R. Laugesen and B. Siudeja in A. Henrot’s book “Shape Optimization and Spectral Theory.” Our proof is achieved by introducing a new difference quotient formula for the behavior of nearly degenerate eigenvalues resulting from domain perturbations, and a novel numerical algorithm that rigorously estimates the formula using verified computation.
