Abstract: I will discuss some symmetry problems for variational energies on the class of convex polygons with a prescribed number of sides, in which the regular n-gon can be proved or is expected to be optimal. Such symmetry results can be viewed as the “discrete” analogue of well-known “continuous” isoperimetric inequalities with balls as optimal domains. I will focus in particular on the following topics

(i) Discrete isoperimetric type inequalities

(ii) Discrete Faber-Krahn type inequalities

(iii) Overdetermined boundary value problems on polygons.
