A quantitative version of the isoperimetric inequality : the anisotropic case

Luca Esposito, Nicola Fusco, Cristina Trombetti (2005)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We state and prove a stability result for the anisotropic version of the isoperimetric inequality. Namely if E is a set with small anisotropic isoperimetric deficit, then E is “close” to the Wulff shape set.

A second order η -approximation method for constrained optimization problems involving second order invex functions

Tadeusz Antczak (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

A new approach for obtaining the second order sufficient conditions for nonlinear mathematical programming problems which makes use of second order derivative is presented. In the so-called second order η -approximation method, an optimization problem associated with the original nonlinear programming problem is constructed that involves a second order η -approximation of both the objective function and the constraint function constituting the original problem. The equivalence between the nonlinear...

A selection theorem of Helly type and its applications

Ehrhard Behrends, Kazimierz Nikodem (1995)

Studia Mathematica

We prove an abstract selection theorem for set-valued mappings with compact convex values in a normed space. Some special cases of this result as well as its applications to separation theory and Hyers-Ulam stability of affine functions are also given.

A sequential iteration algorithm with non-monotoneous behaviour in the method of projections onto convex sets

Gilbert Crombez (2006)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The method of projections onto convex sets to find a point in the intersection of a finite number of closed convex sets in a Euclidean space, may lead to slow convergence of the constructed sequence when that sequence enters some narrow “corridor” between two or more convex sets. A way to leave such corridor consists in taking a big step at different moments during the iteration, because in that way the monotoneous behaviour that is responsible for the slow convergence may be interrupted. In this...

A sharp isoperimetric inequality in the plane

Angelo Alvino, Vincenzo Ferone, Carlo Nitsch (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We show that among all the convex bounded domain in m a t h b b R 2 having an assigned Fraenkel asymmetry index, there exists only one convex set (up to a similarity) which minimizes the isoperimetric deficit. We also show how to construct this set. The result can be read as a sharp improvement of the isoperimetric inequality for convex planar domain.
