A. Kripfganz: 
The Generalized Favard Problem

Abstract
The present paper deals with a geometrical optimization problem
for isoperimetric plane sets contained in a circular sector. For a circle,
this problem was solved by J.~M.~Favard. To obtain structural 
statements methods of distributional optimal control and constrained 
optimization are used. With respect to sector angles and perimeter length
the optimal value function is discussed and the complete solution is founded.
