Abstract
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}$ be a bounded domain. Denote by $\{\lambda_{k}\}{\infty}$ (resp. $\{\mu{k}\}_{k=1})$ the eigenvalues of the Laplace operator in $\Omega$ with Dirichlet (resp. Neumann) boundary conditions. Introduce notations $\Phi(d,k,\Omega)=\#\{j:\mu_{j}(\Omega)\le\lambda_{k}(\Omega)\}$, $\Psi(d,k,\Omega)=\Phi(d,k,\Omega)-k$ , so the inequality $\mu_{k+\Psi(d,k,\Omega)}\le\lambda_{k}$ holds true. In 1986, Levine and Weinberger proved the estimate $\Psi(d,k,\Omega)\ge d$ for all convex domains. We show that for $d\gg1$ this result can be improved: $\Psi(d,k,\Omega)\ge C(\frac{e}{2}){d}$ also for all convex domains. The similar estimate holds for $k=1$: $\Psi(d,1,\Omega)\ge C(\frac{e}{2})^{d}$ for arbitrary domains.
