Abstract

We provide a solution to the isoperimetric problem in the Heisenberg group ℍn when the competing sets belong to a restricted class of C2 graphs. Within this restricted class we characterize the isoperimetric profiles as the bubble sets (1.5) (modulo nonisotropic dilations and left-translations). We also compute the isoperimetric constant.
