We consider the problem of minimizing the relative perimeter under a volume constraint in an unbounded convex body $C\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, without assuming any further regularity on the boundary of $C$. Motivated by an example of an…

The convex body isoperimetric conjecture in the plane asserts that the least perimeter to enclose given area inside a unit disk is greater than inside any other convex set of area $\pi$. In this note we confirm two cases of the conjecture:…

We characterize convex isoperimetric sets in the Heisenberg group endowed with horizontal perimeter. We first prove Sobolev regularity for a certain class of vector fields in the plane with bounded variation, related to the curvature…

We prove a pair of sharp reverse isoperimetric inequalities for domains in nonpositively curved surfaces: (1) metric disks centered at the vertex of a Euclidean cone of angle at least $2\pi$ have minimal area among all nonpositively curved…

In this paper, the isoperimetric problem in Randers planes, $(\mathbb{R}^2,F=\alpha +\beta)$, which are slight deformation of the Euclidean plane $(\mathbb{R}^2,\alpha)$ by suitable one forms $\beta$, have been studied. We prove that the…

For a bounded metric space $ X $ one can consider the quantity $ \delta(X) := \text{inf\rule[-0.5ex]{0em}{1ex}}_{\,p\in X}\; \text{sup}_{q \in X} \; d(p,q) $. This purely metric invariant is known from approximation theory as the relative…

In this paper we study the quantitative isoperimetric inequality in the plane. We prove the existence of a set $\Omega$, different from a ball, which minimizes the ratio $\delta(\Omega)/\lambda^2(\Omega)$, where $\delta$ is the…

We prove a vertex-isoperimetric inequality for [n]^(r), the set of all r-element subsets of {1,2,...,n}, where x,y \in [n]^(r) are adjacent if |x \Delta y|=2. Namely, if \mathcal{A} \subset [n]^(r) with |\mathcal{A}|=\alpha {n \choose r},…

The inverse degree of a graph is the sum of the reciprocals of the degrees of its vertices. We prove that in any connected planar graph, the diameter is at most 5/2 times the inverse degree, and that this ratio is tight. To develop a…

We prove a relative isoperimetric inequality in the plane, when the perimeter is defined with respect to a convex, positively homogeneous function of degree one, and characterize the minimizers.

The inequality of Berwald is a reverse-H\"older like inequality for the $p$th average, $p\in (-1,\infty),$ of a non-negative, concave function over a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n.$ We prove Berwald's inequality for averages of functions…
