We prove a generalization of Reifenberg's isoperimetric inequality. The main result of this paper is used to establish existence of a minimizer for an anisotropically-weighted area functional among a collection of surfaces which satisfies a…
We consider the isoperimetric problem in planar sectors with density $r^{p}$, and with density $a>1$ inside the unit disk and $1$ outside. We characterize solutions as a function of sector angle. We also solve the isoperimetric problem in…

In this paper we prove that among all convex domains of the plane with two axis of symmetry, the maximizer of the first non trivial Neumann eigenvalue $\mu_1$ with perimeter constraint is achieved by the square and the equilateral triangle.…
We show the counter-intuitive fact that some weighted isoperimetric problems on the half-space $ \mathbb{R}^N _+ $, for which half-balls centered at the origin are stable, have no solutions. A particular case is the measure $d\mu = x_N…

We consider the volume-constrained minimization of the sum of the perimeter and the Riesz potential. We add an external potential of the form $\|x\|^{\beta}$ that provides the existence of a minimizer for any volume constraint, and we study…
We will formulate and prove a generalization of the isoperimetric inequality in the plane. Using this inequality we will construct an unitary space - and in consequence - an isomorphic copy of a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space,…

We consider the edge- and vertex-isoperimetric probem on finite and infinite hexagonal grids: For a subset W of the hexagonal grid of given cardinality, we give a lower bound for the number of edges between W and its complement, and lower…
We consider Hardy inequalities in $I R^n$, $n \geq 3$, with best constant that involve either distance to the boundary or distance to a surface of co-dimension $k<n$, and we show that they can still be improved by adding a multiple of a…
This letter announces and summarizes results obtained in arXiv:1111.5051 and considers several natural extensions. The aforementioned paper proposes a procedure to reconstruct coefficients in a second-order, scalar, elliptic equation from…
We generalize the hyperplane inequality in dimensions up to 4 to the setting of arbitrary measures in place of the volume. To prove this generalization we establish stability in the affirmative part of the solution to the Busemann-Petty…
We describe a situation where an unstable equilibrium in a $3 \times 3$ system of linear differential equations may be stabilized by introducing a delayed response, i.e. converting to a system of delayed differential equations. This…
Statistical models that possess symmetry arise in diverse settings such as random fields associated to geophysical phenomena, exchangeable processes in Bayesian statistics, and cyclostationary processes in engineering. We formalize the…
A non-commutative multi-dimensional cosmological model is introduced and used to address the issues of compactification and stabilization of extra dimensions and the cosmological constant problem. We show that in such a scenario these…

In this work, we investigate the inverse problem of determining a quasilinear term appearing in a nonlinear elliptic equation from the measurement of the conormal derivative on the boundary. This problem arises in several practical…
Finding upper and lower bounds to integrals with respect to copulas is a quite prominent problem in applied probability. In their 2014 paper, Hofer and Iaco showed how particular two dimensional copulas are related to optimal solutions of…
In this article, we solve the relative isoperimetric problem in $[0,1]^3$ for orthogonal polyhedra. Up to isometries of the cube or sets of measure $0$, the minimizers are of the form $[0,\epsilon]^3$, $[0,\epsilon]^2 \times [0,1]$, or…
