Abstract: The classical isoperimetric inequality in the Euclidean plane $mathbb{R}^2$ states that for a simple closed curve $M$ of the length $L_M$, enclosing a region of the area $A_M$, one gets �egin{align*} L_{M}^2geqslant 4pi A_{M}. end{align*} In this paper we present the improved isoperimetric inequality, which states that if $M$ is a closed regular simple convex curve, then �egin{align*} L_{M}^2geqslant 4pi A_{M}+8pileft|widetilde{A}_{E_{frac{1}{2}}(M)} ight|, end{align*} where $widetilde{A}_{E_{frac12}(M)}$ is an oriented area of the Wigner caustic of $M$, and the equality holds if and only if $M$ is a curve of constant width. Furthermore we also present a stability property of the improved isoperimetric inequality (near equality implies curve nearly of constant width). The Wigner caustic is an example of an affine $lambda$-equidistant (for $displaystylelambda=frac12$) and the improved isoperimetric inequality is a consequence of certain bounds of oriented areas of affine equidistants.
