Isoperimetric cones and minimal solutions of partial overdetermined problems

Abstract

In this paper we consider a partial overdetermined mixed boundary value problem in domains inside a cone as in [18]. We show that, in cones having an isoperimetric property, the only domains which admit a solution and which minimize a torsional energy functional are spherical sectors centered at the vertex of the cone. We also show that cones close in the $C^{1,1}$-metric to an isoperimetric one are also isoperimetric, generalizing so a result of [1]. This is achieved by using a characterization of constant mean curvature polar graphs in cones which improves a result of [18].
