We introduce a new variational principle for the study of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplacians with Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions on planar domains. In contrast to the classical variational principles, its minimizers are gradients of eigenfunctions instead of the eigenfunctions themselves. This variational principle enables us to give an elementary analytic proof of the famous hot spots conjecture for the class of so-called lip domains. More specifically, we show that each eigenfunction corresponding to the lowest positive eigenvalue of the Neumann Laplacian on such a domain is strictly monotonous along two mutually orthogonal directions. In particular, its maximum and minimum may only be located on the boundary.

Critical points of second Neumann eigenfunctions on some convex domains in two-dimensional space forms
For convex domains in the sphere and hyperbolic plane, the second Neumann eigenfunction has no interior critical points when μ2 D² ≤ j_{1,1}², and planar convex domains satisfy C(Ω) ≤ 2.4828.

Critical points of the second Neumann eigenfunctions on the quadrangles with symmetry
On symmetric quadrilaterals the second Neumann eigenfunction switches between symmetry and antisymmetry at critical geometric parameters, with non-vertex critical points fully characterized or absent.
