An isoperimetric problem for three-dimensional parallelohedra

Zsolt Lángi

Vol. 316 (2022), No. 1, 169–181
Abstract

The aim of this note is to investigate isoperimetric-type problems for 3-dimensional parallelohedra; that is, for convex polyhedra whose translates tile the 3-dimensional Euclidean space. Our main result states that among 3-dimensional parallelohedra with unit volume, the one with minimal mean width is the regular truncated octahedron.
