Abstract: We prove, using elementary methods of complex analysis, the following generalization of the isoperimetric inequality: if pine, Omegasubsete2 then the inequality left(frac{|Omega|}{pi} ight)^{frac{p+1}{2}}leqfrac{1}{2pi}int_{delomega}|x|^pdsigma(x) holds true under appropriate assumptions on Omega and p. This solves an open problem arising in the context of isoperimetric problems with density and poses some new ones (for instance generalizations to en). We prove the equivalence with a Hardy-Sobolev inequality, giving the best constant, and generalize thereby the equivalence between the classical isoperimetric inequality and the Sobolev inequality. Furthermore, the inequality paves the way for solving another problem: the generalization of the harmonic transplantation method of Flucher to the singular Moser-Trudinger embedding.


The author derived and proved that if \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2\) is a bounded open set with piecewise \(C^1\) boundary \(\partial \Omega\), then the generalized isoperimetric inequality \[ \left( \frac{\left| \Omega \right|}{\pi}\right) ^{\frac{p+1}{2}}\leq \frac{1}{2\pi}\int\nolimits_{\partial \Omega}\left| x\right| ^{p}d\sigma (x), \] holds true under appropriate assumptions on \(\Omega\) and \(p\), where \(\left| \Omega \right|\) denotes the 2-dimensional volume of \(\Omega\) and \(d\sigma (x)\) is the 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure. Several consequences of the above result are given and its generalization to similar results in the literature are pointed out. As an application of the above result, the imbedding with the best constant in Hardy-Sobolev inequalities are established and proved. Furthermore, a generalization of the estimate in Theorem 17 obtained in \textit{M. Flucher} [Comment. Math. Helv. 67, No. 3, 471--497 (1992; Zbl 0763.58008)] for \(\left| \Omega \right|\) in terms of the Green's function is also derived and proved.
