On isoperimetric inequalities with respect to infinite measures (Q1955679)

Summary: We study isoperimetric problems with respect to infinite measures on \(\mathbb{R} ^n\). In the case of the measure \(\mu\) defined by \(d\mu = e^{c|x|^2 }\, dx, c\geq 0\), we prove that, among all sets with given \(\mu\)-measure, the ball centered at the origin has the smallest (weighted) \(\mu\)-perimeter. Our results are then applied to obtain Pólya-Szegö-type inequalities, Sobolev embedding theorems, and a comparison result for elliptic boundary value problems.
