The isoperimetric problem in Randers plane

View through CrossRef
In 1947, Busemann observed that a Minkowski circle need not be a solution of the isoperimetric problem in a Minkowski plane. Li and Mo recently showed that the Euclidean circles centred at the origin in a unit ball with the Funk metric are solutions of the isoperimetric problem [9]. In this paper, we construct a class of Randers planes in which \textit{any} Euclidean circle, centered at the origin in ${\mathbb{R}}^2$, turns out to be a local minimum of the isoperimetric problem with respect to the various well-known volume forms in Finsler geometry. As a consequence, it turns out that the Euclidean circles centred at the origin are solutions of the isoperimetric problem in a Randers type Minkowski plane.
