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…

The ancient Gamow liquid drop model of nuclear energies has had a renewed life as an interesting problem in the calculus of variations: Find a set $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3$ with given volume A that minimizes the sum of its surface area…

We establish a structure theorem for minimizing sequences for the isoperimetric problem on noncompact $\mathsf{RCD}(K,N)$ spaces $(X,\mathsf{d},\mathcal{H}^N)$. Under the sole (necessary) assumption that the measure of unit balls is…

We characterize the volume-constrained minimizers of a nonlocal free energy given by the difference of the $t$-perimeter and the $s$-perimeter, with $s$ smaller than $t$. Exploiting the quantitative fractional isoperimetric inequality, we…

In the present manuscript we address and solve for the first time a nonlocal discrete isoperimetric problem. We consider indeed a generalization of the classical perimeter, what we call a nonlocal bi-axial discrete perimeter, where, not…
