Cost-minimizing networks among immiscible fluids in 2

Vol. 196 (2000), No. 2, 395–415
Abstract

We model interfaces between immiscible fluids as cost-minimizing networks, where “cost” is a weighted length. We consider conjectured necessary and sufficient conditions for when a planar cone is minimizing. In some cases we give a proof; in other cases we provide a counterexample.
