An isoperimetric profile gives the least possible perimeter of a set with a prescribed volume.
For an open set , its relative isoperimetric
profile is
where
is relative perimeter and
is Lebesgue measure.
For the unit cube , Deng et al. (2026)
reported
where
and
. Up to isometries
of the cube, complementation, and changes on sets
of measure zero, the minimizers are corner eighth-balls, edge quarter-cylinders,
and coordinate slabs. The transitions occur at
and
, with both adjacent types
minimizing at each transition (Deng et al. 2026).
