Abstract
A celebrated inequality by Payne relates the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian to the first eigenvalue of the buckling problem. Motivated by the goal of establishing a quantitative version of this inequality, we show that Payne’s original estimate—which is not sharp—can in fact be improved. Our result provides a refined spectral bound and opens the way to further investigations into quantitative enhancements of classical inequalities in spectral theory.
