On Courant-like bound for Neumann domain count

In this work we show that in general there is no Courant-like bound for Neumann domain count. In order to do that we construct a sequence of domains ${\mathrm{\Omega }}^n$ such that the first Dirichlet eigenfunction for ${\mathrm{\Omega }}^n$ has at least $n$ Neumann domains. Also a special case of convex domains is considered and sufficient conditions for existence of Courant-like bound for small eigenvalues are found.
