Overdetermined problems and relative Cheeger sets in unbounded domains (Q6149216)

Summary: In this paper, we study a partially overdetermined mixed boundary value problem for domains \(\Omega\) contained in an unbounded set \(\mathcal{C}\). We introduce the notion of the Cheeger set relative to \(\mathcal{C}\) and show that if a domain \(\Omega \subset \mathcal{C}\) admits a solution of the overdetermined problem, then it coincides with its relative Cheeger set. We also study the related problem of characterizing constant mean curvature surfaces \(\Gamma\) inside \(\mathcal{C}\). In the case when \(\mathcal{C}\) is a cylinder, we obtain further results whenever the relative boundary of \(\Omega\) or the surface \(\Gamma\) is a graph on the base of the cylinder.
