The Stability of the Isoperimetric Inequality

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics ((LNMCIME,volume 2179))

Abstract

These lecture notes contain the material that I presented in two summer courses in 2013, one at the Carnegie Mellon University and the other one in a CIME school at Cetraro. The aim of both courses was to give a quick but comprehensive introduction to some recent results on the stability of the isoperimetric inequality.
