    The authors study the stability of the deviation from being a sphere with respect to the isoperimetric deficit for sets of finite perimeter satisfying a mild regularity property. They give an extension to non-convex sets of the classical Bonnesen type result of Fuglede for nearly spherical domains. The authors are particular interested in the study of the isoperimetric inequality. This paper appears to be a natural contribution to the previous published articles; see, for example, \textit{G. Croce, A. Henrot} and \textit{G. Pisante} [Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Anal. Non Linéaire 29, No. 1, 21--34 (2012; Zbl 1243.49048)], or \textit{N. Fusco}, \textit{V. Millot} and \textit{M. Morini}, [J. Funct. Anal. 261, No. 3, 697--715 (2011; Zbl 1228.46030)]. The paper consists of three major sections. The first one is an introduction to the analyzed problem. The authors, using the Hausdorff distance between sets, define the deviation from the spherical shape of a set of {\(R^n\)} with finite measure. The authors state in this section the main result. In the second one they prove some preliminary facts on sets that satisfy the cone property. The authors prove that such sets have finite perimeter, and that in the class {\(C_R\)} the spherical deviation {\(\lambda_{H}(E)\)} goes to zero if the isoperimetric deficit {\(D(E)\)} tends to zero. They prove that if a set of finite perimeter {\(E\)} satisfies an interior cone condition with sufficiently wide angles, then {\(\lambda_{H}(E)<\Phi(D(E))\)}, where {\(\Phi\)} is an explicit function vanishing continuously at zero and depending on the dimension. Section 3 is dedicated to the proof of the main result. The proof is divided into several steps, each consisting of different types of results, some of them independent of the interior cone property. This article is an excellent paper to be studied by those interested in the study of isoperimetric inequalities.
