Serrin-Type Overdetermined Problems: an Alternative Proof
2008
We prove the symmetry of solutions to overdetermined problems for a class of fully nonlinear equations, namely the Hessian equations. In the case of the Poisson equation, our proof is alternative to the proofs proposed by Serrin (moving planes) and by Weinberger. Moreover, our proof makes no direct use of the maximum principle while it sheds light on a relation between the Serrin problem and the isoperimetric inequality.
Super-entropic black hole with Immirzi hair
2020
In the context of $f(R)$ generalizations to the Holst action, endowed with a dynamical Immirzi field, we derive an analytic solution describing asymptotically anti--de Sitter black holes with hyperbolic horizon. These exhibit a scalar hair of the second kind, which ultimately depends on the Immirzi field radial behavior. In particular, we show how the Immirzi field modifies the usual entropy law associated to the black hole. We also verify that the Immirzi field boils down to a constant value in the asymptotic region, thus restoring the standard loop quantum gravity picture. We finally prove the violation of the reverse isoperimetric inequality, resulting in the superentropic nature of the …
Differentiability of the isoperimetric profile and topology of analytic Riemannian manifolds
2012
Abstract We show that smooth isoperimetric profiles are exceptional for real analytic Riemannian manifolds. For instance, under some extra assumptions, this can happen only on topological spheres. To cite this article: R. Grimaldi et al., C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 347 (2009).
A quantitative reverse Faber-Krahn inequality for the first Robin eigenvalue with negative boundary parameter
2021
The aim of this paper is to prove a quantitative form of a reverse Faber-Krahn type inequality for the first Robin Laplacian eigenvalueλβwith negative boundary parameter among convex sets of prescribed perimeter. In that framework, the ball is the only maximizer forλβand the distance from the optimal set is considered in terms of Hausdorff distance. The key point of our stategy is to prove a quantitative reverse Faber-Krahn inequality for the first eigenvalue of a Steklov-type problem related to the original Robin problem.
Sharp estimates for eigenfunctions of a Neumann problem
2009
In this paper we provide some bounds for the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded domain Ω of R^n. To this aim we use the so-called symmetrization techniques and the obtained estimates are asymptotically sharp, at least in the bidimensional case, when the isoperimetric constant relative to Ω goes to 0.
SPACES OF SMALL METRIC COTYPE
2010
Naor and Mendel's metric cotype extends the notion of the Rademacher cotype of a Banach space to all metric spaces. Every Banach space has metric cotype at least 2. We show that any metric space that is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to an ultrametric space has infinimal metric cotype 1. We discuss the invariance of metric cotype inequalities under snowflaking mappings and Gromov-Hausdorff limits, and use these facts to establish a partial converse of the main result.
A sharp estimate of the extinction time for the mean curvature flow
2007
We establish a pointwise comparison result for a nonlinear degenerate elliptic Dirichlet problem using an isoperimetric inequality involving the total mean curvature. In particular this result provides a sharp estimate for the extinction time of a class of compact surfaces, wider than the convex one, moving by mean curvature flow. Finally we present numerical experiments to compare our estimate with those known in literature.
An isoperimetric type problem for primitive Pythagorean hodograph curves
2012
An isoperimetric type problem for primitive Pythagorean hodograph curves is studied. We show how to compute, for each possible degree, the Pythagorean hodograph curve of a given perimeter enclosing the greatest area. We also discuss the existence and construction of smooth solutions, obtaining a relationship with an interesting sequence of Appell polynomials.
Bonnesenʼs inequality for John domains in Rn
2012
Abstract We prove sharp quantitative isoperimetric inequalities for John domains in R n . We show that the Bonnesen-style inequalities hold true in R n under the John domain assumption which rules out cusps. Our main tool is a proof of the isoperimetric inequality for symmetric domains which gives an explicit estimate for the isoperimetric deficit. We use the sharp quantitative inequalities proved in Fusco et al. (2008) [7] and Fuglede (1989) [4] to reduce our problem to symmetric domains.
Remark on a nonlocal isoperimetric problem
2017
Abstract We consider isoperimetric problem with a nonlocal repulsive term given by the Newtonian potential. We prove that regular critical sets of the functional are analytic. This optimal regularity holds also for critical sets of the Ohta–Kawasaki functional. We also prove that when the strength of the nonlocal part is small the ball is the only possible stable critical set.
