We study a geometric variational problem for sets in the plane in which the perimeter and a regularized dipolar interaction compete under a mass constraint. In contrast to previously studied nonlocal isoperimetric problems, here the…

The reverse isoperimetric problem asks for existence and properties of bounded convex sets in a Riemannian manifold which maximise the perimeter under all those sets of fixed volume which roll freely in a ball of some given radius. If the…

We study the isoperimetric problem for Euclidean space endowed with a continuous density. In dimension one, we characterize isoperimetric regions for a unimodal density. In higher dimensions, we prove existence results and we derive…

The aim of this paper is twofold. In the first part we focus on a functional involving a weighted curvature integral and the quermassintegrals. We prove upper and lower bounds for this functional in the class of convex sets, which provide a…

About ten years ago, Schmuckenschl\"ager proved that the lowest eigenvalue of Dirichlet Laplacian for the intersection of two balls (i.e., convex, symmetric and compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with non-empty interior) is less than the sum…

We prove a sharp quantitative form of the classical isocapacitary inequality. Namely, we show that the difference between the capacity of a set and that of a ball with the same volume bounds the square of the Fraenkel asymmetry of the set.…

P\'al's isominwidth theorem states that for a fixed minimal width, the regular triangle has minimal area. A spherical version of this theorem was proven by Bezdek and Blekherman, if the minimal width is at most $\tfrac \pi 2$. If the width…

It is well known that isoperimetric inequalities imply in a very general measure-metric-space setting appropriate concentration inequalities. The former bound the boundary measure of sets as a function of their measure, whereas the latter…

When revisiting the Faber-Krahn inequality for the principal $p$-Laplacian eigenvalue of a bounded open set in $\mathbb R^n$ with smooth boundary, we simply rename it as the $p$-Faber-Krahn inequality and interestingly find that this…

While the classical Faber-Krahn inequality shows that the ball uniquely minimizes the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian in the continuum, this rigidity may fail in the discrete setting. We establish quantitative fluctuation…

In this paper we look for minimizers of the energy functional for isotropic compressible elasticity taking into consideration the effect of a gravitational field induced by the body itself. We consider the displacement problem in which the…

This paper is concerned with volume-constrained minimization problems derived from Gamow's liquid drop model for the atomic nucleus, involving the competition of a perimeter term and repulsive nonlocal potentials. We consider a large class…

We study the small-hole minimization problem for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue in the square \[ Q=(-1,1)^2, \qquad \Lambda_r(x_1,x_2)=\lambda_1\Bigl(Q\setminus\bigl(\overline{B_r(x_1)}\cup \overline{B_r(x_2)}\bigr)\Bigr), \] where two…

We give a counterexample to the long standing conjecture that the ball maximises the first eigenvalue of the Robin eigenvalue problem with negative parameter among domains of the same volume. Furthermore, we show that the conjecture holds…

In this paper we consider the isoperimetric problem with double density in an Euclidean space, that is, we study the minimisation of the perimeter among subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with fixed volume, where volume and perimeter are relative to…

We consider minimizers of \[ F(\lambda_1(\Omega),\ldots,\lambda_N(\Omega)) + |\Omega|, \] where $F$ is a function nondecreasing in each parameter, and $\lambda_k(\Omega)$ is the $k$-th Dirichlet eigenvalue of $\Omega$. This includes, in…

We prove a Heinz type inequality for harmonic diffeomorphisms of of the half-plane onto itself. We then apply this result to prove some sharp bound of the Gaussian curvature of a minimal surface, provided that it lies above the whole…

In this paper, we prove a sharp lower bound of the first (nonzero) eigenvalue of Finsler-Laplacian with the Neumann boundary condition. Equivalently, we prove an optimal anisotropic Poincar\'e inequality for convex domains, which…

For a given bounded Lipschitz set $\Omega$, we consider a Steklov--type eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian operator whose solutions provide extremal functions for the compact embedding $H^1(\Omega)\hookrightarrow L^2(\partial \Omega)$. We…

We prove a sharp isoperimetric inequality for measured Finsler manifolds having non-negative Ricci curvature and Euclidean volume growth. We also prove a rigidity result for this inequality, under the additional hypotheses of boundedness of…
