Abstract:

We study two non-local variational problems that are characterized by the presence of a Riesz-like repulsive term that competes with an attractive term. The first functional is defined on the subsets of $\mathbb{R}^N$ and has the fractional perimeter $\mathcal{P}_s$ as attractive term. The second functional instead is defined on $L^1(\mathbb{R}^N;[0,1])$ and contains an attractive term of positive-power-type. For both of the functionals we prove that balls are the unique minimizers in the appropriate volume constraint range, generalizing the results already present in the literature for more specific energies.
