Abstract

Given an open, bounded set Ω\Omega in RN\mathbb{R}^N, we consider the minimization of the anisotropic Cheeger constant hK(Ω)h_K(\Omega) with respect to the anisotropy KK, under a volume constraint on the associated unit ball. In the planar case, under the assumption that KK is a convex, centrally symmetric body, we prove the existence of a minimizer. Moreover, if Ω\Omega is a ball, we show that the optimal anisotropy KK is not a ball and that, among all regular polygons, the square provides the minimal value.
