Abstract:

Consider a compact $M \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and $l > 0$. A maximal distance minimizer problem is to find a connected compact set $\Sigma$ of the length (one-dimensional Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^1$) at most $l$ that minimizes \[ \max_{y \in M} dist (y, \Sigma), \] where $dist$ stands for the Euclidean distance. We give a survey on the results on the maximal distance minimizers and related problems.
