On the minimizer of the barycentric isoperimetric ratio among connected planar sets
Abstract
Among connected, planar sets, the ratio between the isoperimetric deficit and the squared barycentric asymmetry is known to be bounded from below by a strictly positive constant (as proved in recent papers by Bianchini-Croce-Henrot and Gambicchia-Pratelli). This opens the natural question whether the infimum is attained at some set. In this paper, we prove that a minimizer for this ratio actually exists, and moreover it is simply connected.
