Feb 8 at 23:20 comment added Student Oh wait $\int \sin(r)^2\neq 0,$ maybe I am missing something here....
Feb 8 at 23:13 comment added Student @GiuseppeNegro I am guessing the extremizers are eigenfunctions on the hemisphere, which are the coordinate functions. Writing them co-ordinates, $x_1=\sin(r)cos(\theta),x_2=\sin(r)\sin(\theta).$ Then $\int \sin(r)^3 = 2/3$ while $\int \cos(r)^2 \sin(r) = 1/3$ so I am guessing that the constant has to be at least $2$?

Feb 8 at 18:58 comment added Giuseppe Negro I agree with Iosif that $r$ should run on $[0, \pi/2]$. Also, if you show some details on the proof of the first statement, it will probably shed light on the second. It may well be that a maximizer to the first inequality is radial (i.e. it depends on $r$ only), in which case the second follows.
Feb 8 at 18:52 comment added Iosif Pinelis (i) "we know that [...]" -- How/from where do we know that? (ii) Shouldn't $\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}$ be replaced everywhere by $\int_0^{\pi/2}$?
