We study the double bubble problem with perimeter taken with respect to the $\ell_1$ norm on $\mathbb{R}^2$. We give an elementary proof for the existence of minimizing sets for any volume ratio parameter $0<\alpha\le1$ by direct comparison…
Sullivan's multi-bubble isoperimetric conjectures in $n$-dimensional Euclidean and spherical spaces assert that standard bubbles uniquely minimize total perimeter among all $q-1$ bubbles enclosing prescribed volume, for any $q \leq n+2$.…
In this paper we show that the solution of the discrete Double Bubble problem over $\mathbb{Z}^2$ is at most the ceiling function plus two of the continuous solution to the Double Bubble problem, with respect to the $\ell^1$ norm, found in…
Using Brakke's Evolver, we numerically verify previous conjectures for optimal double bubbles for density $r^p$ in $R^3$ and our own new conjectures for triple bubbles.
The separation of two sets (or more specific of two cones) plays an important role in different fields of mathematics such as variational analysis, convex analysis, convex geometry, optimization. In the paper, we derive some new results for…
It is shown that $m$ disjoint sets with fixed Gaussian volumes that partition $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with minimum Gaussian surface area must be $(m-1)$-dimensional. This follows from a second variation argument using infinitesimal translations.…
Exact solutions are presented for a doubly-periodic array of steadily moving bubbles in a Hele-Shaw cell when surface tension is neglected. It is assumed that the bubbles either are symmetrical with respect to the channel centreline or have…
Using Brakke's Evolver, we numerically verify conjectured optimal planar double bubbles for density $r^p$ and provide conjectures for triple and quadruple bubbles.
We prove the double bubble conjecture in the three-sphere $S^3$ and hyperbolic three-space $H^3$ in the cases where we can apply Hutchings theory: 1) in $S^3$, each enclosed volume and the complement occupy at least 10% of the volume of…
We characterize the unique minimizer of the three-dimensional double-bubble problem with respect to the $\ell_1$-norm for volume ratios between $1/2$ and $2$.
We investigate minimal-perimeter configurations of two finite sets of points on the square lattice. This corresponds to a lattice version of the classical double-bubble problem. We give a detailed description of the fine geometry of…
In this paper we address the global stability problem for double-bubbles in the plane. This is accomplished by combining the "improved convergence theorem" for planar clusters developed in arXiv:1409.6652 with an ad hoc analysis of the…
Although standard planar double bubbles are stable in the sense that the second variation of the perimeter functional is non-negative for all area-preserving perturbations the question arises whether they are dynamically stable. By…
The mechanism of superstability of nanobubbles in liquid confirmed by many experimental studies is still in debate since the classical diffusion predicts their lifetime on the order of a few microseconds. In this work, we study the…
The isoperimetric problem with a density or weighting seeks to enclose prescribed weighted volume with minimum weighted perimeter. According to Chambers' recent proof of the log-convex density conjecture, for many densities on…
The nucleation of vapor bubbles within a superheated fluid is studied using density functional theory. The nudged elastic band technique is used to find the minimum energy pathway from the metastable uniform liquid to the stable uniform gas…
This paper introduces a natural definition for the volume of the unit ball in $n$-dimensional normed spaces $\mathbb{R}^n$. This definition preserves the Euclidean relation $P(B)/V(B)=n$ between the perimiter and the volume of the unit ball…
We prove a limit theorem for the the maximal interpoint distance (also called the diameter) for a sample of n i.i.d. points in the unit ball of dimension 2 or more. The exact form of the limit distribution and the required normalisation are…
The inertial collapse of two interacting and non-translating spherical bubbles of equal size is considered. The exact analytic solution to the nonlinear ordinary differential equation that governs the bubble radii during collapse is first…
It is shown that $3$ disjoint sets with fixed Gaussian volumes that partition $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with nearly minimum total Gaussian surface area must be close to adjacent $120$ degree sectors, when $n\geq2$. These same results hold for any…
