Abstract: We prove some old and new isoperimetric inequalities with the best constant using the ABP method applied to an appropriate linear Neumann problem. More precisely, we obtain a new family of sharp isoperimetric inequalities with weights (also called densities) in open convex cones of mathbbRn. Our result applies to all nonnegative homogeneous weights satisfying a concavity condition in the cone. Remarkably, Euclidean balls centered at the origin (intersected with the cone) minimize the weighted isoperimetric quotient, even if all our weights are nonradial ---except for the constant ones. We also study the anisotropic isoperimetric problem in convex cones for the same class of weights. We prove that the Wulff shape (intersected with the cone) minimizes the anisotropic weighted perimeter under the weighted volume constraint. As a particular case of our results, we give new proofs of two classical results: the Wulff inequality and the isoperimetric inequality in convex cones of Lions and Pacella.


The main result of the paper generalizes two well known weighted isoperimetric inequalities proved by \textit{G. Wulff} [``Zur Frage der Geschwindigkeit des Wachstums und der Auflösung der Kristallflächen, Z. Kristallogr. 34, 449--530 (1901)] and \textit{P.-L. Lions} and \textit{F. Pacella} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 109, No. 2, 477--485 (1990; Zbl 0717.52008)].
