Best constants for the isoperimetric inequality in quantitative form (Q1949975): Difference between revisions

Summary: We prove some results in the context of isoperimetric inequalities with quantitative terms. In the 2-dimensional case, our main contribution is a method for determining the optimal coefficients \(c_{1},\dots,c_{m}\) in the inequality \(\delta P(E) \geq \sum_{k=1}^{m}c_{k}\alpha (E)^{k} + o(\alpha (E)^{m})\), valid for each Borel set \(E\) with positive and finite area, with \(\delta P(E)\) and \(\alpha (E)\) being, respectively, the isoperimetric deficit and the Fraenkel asymmetry of \(E\). In \(n\) dimensions, besides proving existence and regularity properties of minimizers for a wide class of quantitative isoperimetric quotients including the lower semicontinuous extension of \(\frac{\delta P(E)}{\alpha (E)^{2}}\), we describe the general technique upon which our 2-dimensional result is based. This technique, called Iterative Selection Principle, extends the one introduced in [\textit{M. Cicalese} and \textit{G. P. Leonardi}, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 206, No. 2, 617--643 (2012; Zbl 1257.49045)].
