Stability of hypersurfaces with constant (r+1)-th anisotropic mean curvature

Abstract: Given a positive function

F

on

S^{n}

which satisfies a convexity condition, we define the

r

-th anisotropic mean curvature function

H_{r}^{F}

for hypersurfaces in

m a t h b b R^{n + 1}

which is a generalization of the usual

r

-th mean curvature function. Let

X : M o m a t h b b R^{n + 1}

be an

n

-dimensional closed hypersurface with

H_{r + 1}^{F} =

constant, for some

r

with

0 l e q r l e q n - 1

, which is a critical point for a variational problem. We show that

X (M)

is stable if and only if

X (M)

is the Wulff shape.
