We consider the eigenvalue gap for Schrödinger operators on an interval with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. For a class of symmetric potentials, we prove that the gap between the two lowest eigenvalues is maximized when the potential is constant. We also give some related results for doubly symmetric potentials.
