Analytic isoperimetric inequalities (Q4526609)

It is known that the classical geometric isoperimetric inequalities are equivalent to suitable analytic isoperimetric inequalities. For example, the analytic isoperimetric inequality \[ \left( \sum_{i=1}^{n}\sin \theta _{i}\right) ^{2}\geq d_{n}(\sigma)\sum_{i=1}^{n}\sin \theta _{i}\cos \theta _{i}+ \left(n\sin \sigma -\sum_{i=1}^{n}\sin \theta _{i} \right)^{2}, \] proved, for instance, in \textit{X.-M. Zhang} [J. Geom. 60, No. 1-2, 188-201 (1997; Zbl 0890.51017)], is equivalent to the geometric inequality \[ L^{2}(P_{n})\geq 4d_{n}A(P_{n})+\{n\sin \frac{\pi }{n}-L(P_{n})\}^{2},\;d_{n}=n\tan (\pi /n), \] where \(P_{n}\) is an \(n-\)sided polygon in the plane with length \(L(P_{n})\) enclosing a domain of area \(A(P_{n})\). Instead \(S=\sin \) and \(S=\cos \), in the paper some new analytic isoperimetric inequalities are proved for a large class of functions \(S\) with \(S''\neq 0\). One of the basic is the following: \[ \{kS(\alpha)+mS(\beta)\}^{2}\geq A_{S}^{k,m}(\alpha ,\beta ;c)+\{nS(\sigma)-[kS(\alpha)+mS(\beta)]\}^{2}, \] where \(A_{S}^{k,m}\) are some new area functions defined by \(S\). The case when \(S\) is convex, is particularly treated, too, because such analytic inequalities may be regarded as quadratic Jensen's inequalities. For some related results see in \textit{H.-T. Ku, M.-C. Ku}, and \textit{X.-M. Zhang} [J. Geom. 53, No. 1-2, 100-121 (1995; Zbl 0842.51011)], where corresponding analytic isoperimetric inequalities are proved for very special types of the functions \(S \) taken to be solutions of some second order ordinary differential equations.
