Abstract: We derive sharp upper bounds for eigenvalues of the Laplacian under Neumann boundary conditions on convex domains with given diameter in Euclidean space. We use the Brunn-Minkowski theorem in order to reduce the problem to a question about eigenvalues of certain classes of Sturm-Liouville problems.
