Abstract

We study a problem of geometric graph theory: We determine the triply periodic graph in Euclidean 3-space which minimizes length among all graphs spanning a fundamental domain of 3-space with the same volume. This problem is related to minimizing the Willmore energy of triply periodic surfaces under a volume constraint.

Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit periodischen Netzwerken. Wir bestimmen in der Klasse der dreifach periodischen Netzwerke im dreidimensionalen euklischen Raum die Minimierer der Länge bei vorgeschriebenem Volumen. Dieses Problem ist verwandt mit der Minimierung der Willmore-Energie unter Volumen-Nebenbedingung.
