We provide a sharp lower bound for the perimeter of the inner parallel sets of a convex body $\Omega$. The bound depends only on the perimeter and inradius $r$ of the original body and states that \[|\partial\Omega_t| \geq…

For a non-empty, bounded, open, and convex set of class $C^2$, we consider the Torsional Rigidity associated to the $k$-Hessian operator. We first prove P\'olya type lower bound for the $k$-Torsional Rigidity in any dimension; then, in…

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we cut off a part of a convex surface by a plane near a ridge point and characterize the limiting behavior of the surface measure in $S^2$ induced by this part of surface when the plane approaches…

We study the following elliptic problem $-A(u) = \lambda u^q$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where $A(u) (x) = \Delta u (x) \chi_{D_1} (x)+ \Delta_p u(x) \chi_{D_2}(x)$ is the Laplacian in one part of the domain, $D_1$, and the…
