We use the concept of intrinsic metrics to give a new definition for an isoperimetric constant of a graph. We use this novel isoperimetric constant to prove a Cheeger-type estimate for the bottom of the spectrum which is nontrivial even if…
We study the volume growth of metric balls as a function of the radius in discrete spaces, and focus on the relationship between volume growth and discrete curvature. We improve volume growth bounds under a lower bound on the so-called…
Following ideas of Iriyeh and Shibata we give a short proof of the three-dimensional Mahler conjecture {\mf for symmetric convex bodies}. Our contributions include, in particular, simple self-contained proofs of their two key statements.…
The graph Cheeger constant and Cheeger inequalities are generalized to the case of hypergraphs whose edges have the same cardinality. In particular, it is shown that the second largest eigenvalue of the generalized normalized Laplacian is…
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…
We prove a discrete analogue to a classical isoperimetric theorem of Weil for surfaces with non-positive curvature. It is shown that hexagons in the triangular lattice have maximal volume among all sets of a given boundary in any…
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the isoperimetric inequality for symmetric log-convex probability measures on the line. Using geometric arguments we first re-prove that extremal sets in the isoperimetric inequality are intervals or…
Lower bounds estimates are proved for the first eigenvalue for the Dirichlet Laplacian on arbitrary triangles using various symmetrization techniques. These results can viewed as a generalization of P\'olya's isoperimetric bounds. It is…
We give a brief literature review of the isoperimetric problem and discuss its relationship with the Cheeger constant of Riemannian $n$-manifolds. For some non-compact, finite area 2-manifolds, we prove the existence and regularity of…
The Cheeger constant of a graph, or equivalently its coboundary expansion, quantifies the expansion of the graph. This notion assumes an implicit choice of a coefficient group, namely, $\mathbb{F}_2$. In this paper, we study Cheeger-type…
By using optimal transport theory, we prove a sharp dimension-free isoperimetric inequality involving the volume entropy, in metric measure spaces with non-negative Ricci curvature in the sense of Lott--Sturm--Villani. We show that this…
The isodiametric inequality states that the Euclidean ball maximizes the volume among all convex bodies of a given diameter. We are motivated by a conjecture of Makai Jr.~on the reverse question: Every convex body has a linear image whose…
In this paper we prove that among all convex domains of the plane with two axis of symmetry, the maximizer of the first non trivial Neumann eigenvalue $\mu_1$ with perimeter constraint is achieved by the square and the equilateral triangle.…
Barthe proved that the regular simplex maximizes the mean width of convex bodies whose John ellipsoid (maximal volume ellipsoid contained in the body) is the Euclidean unit ball; or equivalently, the regular simplex maximizes the…

We establish a Poincar\`E-Bendixson type result for a weighted averaged infinite horizon problem in the plane, with and without averaged constraints. For the unconstrained problem, we establish the existence of a periodic optimal solution,…
P\'al's classical isominwidth inequality states that the regular triangle has minimal area among plane convex bodies of minimal width $w$. A similar result is the Blaschke--Lebesgue inequality that states that Reuleaux triangles minimize…
