Abstract

We consider a generalization of the Cheeger problem in a bounded, open set Ω\Omega by replacing the perimeter functional with a Finsler-type surface energy and the volume with suitable powers of a weighted volume. We show that any connected minimizer AA of this weighted Cheeger problem such that Hn1(A(1)A)=0H^{n-1}(A^{(1)} \cap \partial A)=0 satisfies a relative isoperimetric inequality. If Ω\Omega itself is a connected minimizer such that Hn1(Ω(1)Ω)=0H^{n-1}(\Omega^{(1)} \cap \partial \Omega)=0, then it allows the classical Sobolev and BVBV embeddings and the classical BVBV trace theorem. The same result holds for any connected minimizer whenever the weights grant the regularity of perimeter-minimizer sets and Ω\Omega is such that Ω=0|\partial \Omega|=0 and Hn1(Ω(1)Ω)=0H^{n-1}(\Omega^{(1)} \cap \partial \Omega)=0.
