Abstract: | For a given convex subset Ω of Euclidean n-space, we consider the problem of minimizing the perimeter of subsets of Ω subject
to a volume constraint. The problem is to determine whether in general a minimizer is also convex. Although this problem is
unresolved, we show that if Ω satisfies a “great circle” condition, then any minimizer is convex. We say that Ω satisfies
a great circle condition if the largest closed ball B contained in Ω has a great circle that is contained in the boundary
of Ω. A great circle of B is defined as the intersection of the boundary of B with a hyperplane passing through the center
of B. |
