Short note on energy maximization property of the first eigenfunction of the Laplacian

We consider the Dirichlet-energy maximization problem of the solution $u_f$ of (\ref{main}), among all functions $f\in L^2(D)$, such that $\|f\|_2= 1$. We show that the two maximizers are the first eigenfunctions of the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary condition $f=\pm u_1$.
