Abstract:We give a solution to the isoperimetric problem for the exponential measure on the plane with the 1 -metric. As it turns out, among all sets of a given measure, the simplex or its complement (i.e. the ball in the 1 -metric or its complement) has the smallest boundary measure. The proof is based on a symmetrisation (along the sections of equal 1 -distance from the origin).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
