The equality case in a Poincaré-Wirtinger type inequality
In this paper, generalizing to the non smooth case already existing results, we prove that, for any convex planar set $Ω$, the first non-trivial Neumann eigenvalue $μ_1(Ω)$ of the Hermite operator is greater than or equal to 1. Furthermore, and this is our main result, under some additional assumptions on $Ω$, we show that $μ_1(Ω)=1$ if and only if $Ω$ is any strip. The study of the equality case requires, among other things, an asymptotic analysis of the eigenvalues of the Hermite operator in thin domains.
