The existence of a singular curve in R 2 is proven, whose curvature can be extended to an L 2 function. The curve is the boundary of a two dimensional set, minimizing the length plus the integral over the set of the extension of the curvature. The existence of such a curve was conjectured by E. De Giorgi, during a conference held in Trento in July 1992.

Properties of Conflict Sets in the Plane

This paper studies the smoothness and the curvature of conflict sets of the distance function in the plane. Conflict sets are also well known as 'bisectors'. We prove smoothness in the case of two convex sets and give a formula for the curvature. We generalize moreover to weighted distance functions, the so-called Johnson-Mehl model.
