On The Quantitative Isoperimetric Inequality In The Plane

Abstract

In this paper we study the quantitative isoperimetric inequality in the plane. We prove the existence of a set $\Omega$, different from a ball, which minimizes the ratio $\delta(\Omega)/\lambda^2(\Omega)$, where $\delta$ is the isoperimetric deficit and $\lambda$ the Fraenkel asymmetry, giving a new proof ofthe quantitative isoperimetric inequality. Some new properties of the optimal set are also shown.
