Abstract: In this paper we address the following shape optimization problem: find the planar domain of least area, among the sets with prescribed constant width and inradius. In the literature, the problem is ascribed to Bonnesen, who proposed it in cite{BF}. In the present work, we give a complete answer to the problem, providing an explicit characterization of optimal sets for every choice of width and inradius. These optimal sets are particular Reuleaux polygons.

Review text

The following shape optimization problem is completely solved in this paper: find the planar domain of least area, among the sets with prescribed constant width and inradius. An explicit characterization of the minimizers is given for every choice of width and inradius. The uniqueness of the minimizer in the class of Reuleaux polygons is obtained, together with the minimal value of the area.
