Example of minimizer of the average-distance problem with non closed set of corners
Rendiconti del Seminario Matematico della Università di Padova, Tome 137 (2017), pp. 19-55.

The average-distance problem, in the penalized formulation, involves minimizing

E μ λ (Σ):= d inf yΣ |x-y|dμ(x)+λ 1 (Σ),
among compact, connected sets Σ, where 1 denotes the 1-Hausdorff measure, d2, μ is a given measure and λ a given parameter. Regularity of minimizers is a delicate problem. It is known that even if μ is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure, C 1 regularity does not hold in general. An interesting question is whether the set of corners, i.e. points where C 1 regularity does not hold, is closed. The aim of this paper is to provide an example of minimizer whose set of corners is not closed, with reference measure μ absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure.
