We consider the punctured plane with volume density $|x|^alpha$ and perimeter density $|x|^beta$. We show that centred balls are uniquely isoperimetric for indices $(alpha,beta)$ which satisfy the conditions $alpha-beta+1>0$, $alphaleq 2beta$ and $alpha(beta+1)leqbeta^2$ except in the case $alpha=beta=0$ which corresponds to the classical isoperimetric inequality.
We prove the sharp quantitative stability for a wide class of weighted isoperimetric inequalities. More precisely, we consider isoperimetric inequalities in convex cones with homogeneous weights. Inspired by the proof of such isoperimetric inequalities through the ABP method, we construct a new convex coupling (i.e., a map that is the gradient of a convex function) between a generic set $E$ and the minimizer of the inequality (as in Gromovs proof of the isoperimetric inequality). Even if this map does not come from optimal transport, and even if there is a weight in the inequality, we adapt the methods of Figalli-Maggi-Pratelli and prove that if $E$ is almost optimal for the inequality then it is quantitatively close to a minimizer up to translations. Then, a delicate analysis is necessary to rule out the possibility of translations. As a step of our proof, we establish a sharp regularity result for restricted convex envelopes of a function that might be of independent interest.
Given a positive lower semi-continuous density $f$ on $mathbb{R}^2$ the weighted volume $V_f:=fmathscr{L}^2$ 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 $mathbb{R}^2$ is written $P_f(E)$. We study minimisers for the weighted isoperimetric problem [ I_f(v):=infBig{ P_f(E):Etext{ is a set of finite perimeter in }mathbb{R}^2text{ and }V_f(E)=vBig} ] for $v>0$. Suppose $f$ takes the form $f:mathbb{R}^2rightarrow(0,+infty);xmapsto e^{h(|x|)}$ where $h:[0,+infty)rightarrowmathbb{R}$ is a non-decreasing convex function. Let $v>0$ and $B$ a centred ball in $mathbb{R}^2$ with $V_f(B)=v$. We show that $B$ is a minimiser for the above variational problem and obtain a uniqueness result.
We prove that a plane domain which is almost isoperimetric (with respect to the $L^1$ metric) is close to a square whose sides are parallel to the coordinates axis. Closeness is measured either by $L^infty$ Haussdorf distance or Fraenkel asymmetry. In the first case, we determine the extremal domains.
We formulate an isoperimetric deformation of curves on the Minkowski plane, which is governed by the defocusing mKdV equation. Two classes of exact solutions to the defocusing mKdV equation are also presented in terms of the $tau$ functions. By using one of these classes, we construct an explicit formula for the corresponding motion of curves on the Minkowski plane even though those solutions have singular points. Another class give regular solutions to the defocusing mKdV equation. Some pictures illustrating typical dynamics of the curves are presented.
In this work the Isoperimetric Inequality for integral varifolds is used to obtain sharp estimates for the size of the set where the density quotient is small and to generalise Calderons and Zygmunds theory of first order differentiability for functions in Lebesgue spaces from Lebesgue measure to integral varifolds.
