Abstract

In this paper, we prove a Poincaré-type inequality for any set of finite perimeter which is stable with respect to the free energy among volume-preserving perturbation, provided that the Hausdorff dimension of its singular set is at most n - 3 . With this inequality, we classify all volume-constraint local energy-minimizing sets in a unit ball, a half-space or a wedge-shaped domain. In particular, we prove that the relative boundary of any energy-minimizing set is smooth.
