We seek the optimal double bubble in $\\mathbb{R}^N$ with density, which we assume to be strictly log-convex. For $N=1$ we show that the solution is sometimes two contiguous intervals and sometimes three contiguous intervals. In higher dimensions, we think that the solution is sometimes a standard double bubble and sometimes concentric spheres (e.g. for one volume small and the other large).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-08-10T16:34:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "49Q10" ], "keywords": [ "real line", "log-convex density", "classic double bubble theorem says", "standard double bubble", "contiguous intervals" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 44, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
