On the quantitative isoperimetric inequality in the plane with the barycentric distance

Abstract

In this paper we study the following quantitative isoperimetric inequality in the plane: $\lambda_0^2(\Omega) \leq C \delta(\Omega)$ where $\delta$ is the isoperimetric deficit and $\lambda_0$ is the barycentric asymmetry. Our aim is to generalize some results obtained by B. Fuglede in \cite{Fu93Geometriae}. For that purpose, we consider the shape optimization problem: minimize the ratio $\delta(\Omega)/\lambda_0^2(\Omega)$ in the class of compact connected sets and in the class of convex sets.
