Minimality of balls in the small volume regime for a general Gamow type functional

Publication date 8 September 2020

Abstract: We consider functionals given by the sum of the perimeter and the double integral of some kernel

g : m a t h b b R^{N} i m e s m a t h b b R^{N} o m a t h b b R^{+}

, multiplied by a "mass parameter"

v a r e p s i l o n

. We show that, whenever

g

is admissible, radial and decreasing, the unique minimizer of this functional among sets of given volume is the ball as soon as

v a r e p s i l o n l l 1

.
