Grieser, Daniel; Jerison, David Asymptotics of the first nodal line. (English) Zbl 0872.35006 Journ. Équ. Dériv. Partielles, St.-Jean-de-Monts 1995, Exp. No. 2, 8 p. (1995). Summary: We announce the result that the first nodal line of a convex planar domain tends to a straight line as the eccentricity tends to infinity.
