[Abstract-pdf]
We prove a sufficient criterion to determine if a planar set $\Omega$ minimizes the prescribed curvature functional $\mathcal{F}_\kappa[E]:=P(E)-\kappa|E|$ amongst $E\subset \Omega$. As a special case, we derive a sufficient criterion to determine if $\Omega$ is a self-Cheeger set, i.e.~if it minimizes the ratio $P(E)/|E|$ among all of its subsets. As a side effect we provide a way to build self-Cheeger sets.
Keywords: Cheeger constant, inner Cheeger formula, self-Cheeger sets, perimeter minimizer, prescribed mean curvature.
