This book originates from the lecture notes that the author held at the University of Duisburg-Essen in 2005. The first aim of the book was to provide an introduction for the beginners about theory of sets of finite perimeter, presenting some results concerning the existence, symmetry, regularity and structure of singularities in some variational problems involving the length and area. Topics like the Euclidean isoperimetric problem, the description of geometric properties of equilibrium shapes for liquid drops and crystals, the regularity up to a singular set of codimension at least 8 for area minimizing boundaries, and the theory of minimizing clusters are covered. The secondary aim of this book is to provide a multi-leveled introduction to the study of other variational problems (parametric and non-parametric) as well as of partial differential equations. In this way, an interested reader is able to enter with relative ease several parts of Geometric Measure Theory and to apply some tools from this theory in the study of other problems from Mathematics ...
