We study the monotonicity (with respect to $p$) of the principal frequency of the anisotropic $p$-Laplacian on bounded, convex domains with smooth boundary. As a consequence of our main result, we obtain a new variational characterization for the principal frequency on domains having a sufficiently small inradius. The talk is based on joint work with Denisa Stancu-Dumitru ("Politehnica" University of Bucharest, Romania) and Mihai Mihailescu (University of Craiova, Romania).
