Abstract:

We provide a geometric characterization of the minimal and maximal minimizer of the prescribed curvature functional $P(E)-\kappa\, \textrm{vol}(E)$ among subsets of a Jordan domain $\Omega$ with no necks of radius $\kappa^{-1}$, for values of $\kappa$ greater than or equal to the Cheeger constant of $\Omega$. As an application, we describe all minimizers of the isoperimetric profile for volumes greater than the volume of the minimal Cheeger set, relative to a Jordan domain $\Omega$ which has no necks of radius $r$, for all $r$. Finally, we show that for such sets and volumes the isoperimetric profile is convex.

Keywords: Cheeger constant, prescribed mean curvature, perimeter minimizer
