Tóm tắt
We generalize the classical Steiner symmetrization to surfaces with self-intersections. Then we apply the generalized Steiner symmetrization to several isoperimetric problems. For example, let Г⊂ℝ3 be an analytic plane Jordan curve which is symmetric with respect to a plane ϖ (ϖ⊅Г). LetS be a compact immersed surface bounded by Λ which has the smallest area among all compact surfaces bounded by Λ with a fixed volume. In this situation, under some additional assumptions, the wholeS is proved to be symmetric with respect to ϖ. When Λ is a round circle,S is proved to be a spherical cap or the flat disk bounded by Λ without any additional assumptions.
