We construct two minimal Cheeger sets in the Euclidean plane, i.e. unique minimizers of the ratio "perimeter over area" among their own measurable subsets. The first one gives a counterexample to the so-called weak regularity property of…
We study existence of minimisers to the least gradient problem on a strictly convex domain in two settings. On a bounded domain, we allow the boundary data to be discontinuous and prove existence of minimisers in terms of the Hausdorff…
We discuss a variational model, given by a weighted sum of perimeter, bending and Riesz interaction energies, that could be considered as a toy model for charged elastic drops. The different contributions have competing preferences for…
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 focus on the analysis of local minimizers of the Mahler volume, that is to say the local solutions to the problem $$\min\{ M(K):=|K||K^\circ|\;/\;K\subset\R^d\textrm{ open and convex}, K=-K\}, $$ where $K^\circ:=\{\xi\in\R^d ; \forall…
Minimizers in the least gradient problem with discontinuous boundary data need not be unique. However, all of them have a similar structure of level sets. Here, we give a full characterization of the set of minimizers in terms of any one of…
Given a positive lower semi-continuous density $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ the weighted volume $V_f:=f\mathscr{L}^2$ is defined on the $\mathscr{L}^2$-measurable sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The $f$-weighted perimeter of a set of finite perimeter $E$…
In Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, the minimization problem of a nonlocal isoperimetric functional with a competition between perimeter and a nonlocal term derived from the negative power of the distance function, has been extensively…
We investigate the optimal arrangements of two planar sets of given volume which are minimizing the $\ell_1$ double-bubble interaction functional. The latter features a competition between the minimization of the $\ell_1$ perimeters of the…
We investigate the properties of minimizers of one-dimensional variational problems when the Lagrangian has no higher smoothness than continuity. An elementary approximation result is proved, but it is shown that this cannot be in general…
In (the surface of) a convex polytope P^n in R^n+1, for small prescribed volume, geodesic balls about some vertex minimize perimeter. This revision corrects a mistake in the mass bound argument in the proof of Theorem 3.8.
We study the isoperimetric problem with a potential energy $g$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ weighted by a radial density $f$ and analyze the geometric properties of minimizers. Notably, we construct two counterexamples demonstrating that, in contrast…
In this paper, we prove a Poincar\'e-type inequality for any set of finite perimeter which is stable with respect to the free energy among volume-preserving perturbation, provided that the Hausdorff dimension of its singular set is at most…
The primary objective of this paper is to establish the Ahlfors regularity of minimizers of set functions that satisfy a suitable maxitive condition on disjoint unions of sets. Our analysis focuses on minimizers within continua of the plane…
This doctoral thesis is devoted to the analysis of some minimization problems that involve nonlocal functionals. We are mainly concerned with the $s$-fractional perimeter and its minimizers, the $s$-minimal sets. We investigate the behavior…
We will study an open problem pertaining to the uniqueness of minimizers for a class of variational problems emanating from Meyer's model for the decomposition of an image into a geometric part and a texture part. Mainly, we are interested…
We introduce a class of regularisable infinite dimensional principal fibre bundles which includes fibre bundles arising in gauge field theories like Yang-Mills and string theory and which generalise finite dimensional Riemannian principal…
We study the problem of minimizing the second Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Laplacian operator among sets of given perimeter. In two dimensions, we prove that the optimum exists, is convex, regular, and its boundary contains exactly two…
We consider a class of nonlocal generalized perimeters which includes fractional perimeters and Riesz type potentials. We prove a general isoperimetric inequality for such functionals, and we discuss some applications. In particular we…
We discuss the minimization of a Kohler-Jobin type scale-invariant functional among open, convex, bounded sets, namely $\min T_2(\Omega) ^{\frac{1}{N+2}}h_1(\Omega)$ among open convex bounded sets $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N$, where…
