Variational problems in a geometric measure-theoretic setting (49Q20) Length, area, volume, other geometric measure theory (28A75) Minimal surfaces and optimization (49Q05) Interface problems; diffusion-limited aggregation arising in equilibrium statistical mechanics (82B24)

Abstract: We consider a variational problem in a planar convex domain, motivated by statistical mechanics of crystal growth in a saturated solution. The minimizers are constructed explicitly and are completely characterized.
