Abstract: |
This paper presents the proof of several inequalities by using the
technique introduced by Alexandroff, Bakelman, and Pucci to
establish their ABP estimate. First, the author gives a new and
simple proof of a lower bound of Berestycki, Nirenberg, and Varadhan
concerning the principal eigenvalue of an elliptic operator with
bounded measurable coefficients. The rest of the paper is a survey
on the proofs of several isoperimetric and Sobolev inequalities
using the ABP technique. This includes new proofs of the classical
isoperimetric inequality, the Wulff isoperimetric inequality, and
the Lions-Pacella isoperimetric inequality in convex cones. For this
last inequality, the new proof was recently found by the author,
Xavier Ros-Oton, and Joaquim Serra in a work where new Sobolev
inequalities with weights came up by studying an open question
raised by Haim Brezis. |
