Abstract: A Finsler analog of the Lobachevsky plane is the Lie group of proper affine transformations of the real line with a left-invariant Finsler structure generated by a convex compact set in the Lie algebra with the origin in its interior. We consider the isoperimetric problem on this Lie group, with the volume form also taken to be left-invariant. This problem is formulated as an optimal control problem. Applying the Pontryagin maximum principle, we find the optimal isoperimetric loops in an explicit form in terms of convex trigonometry functions. We also present a generalized isoperimetric inequality in a parametric form.

Keywords: Finsler geometry, isoperimetric problem, isoperimetric inequality, Lobachevsky plane, hyperbolic plane, optimal control, convex trigonometry.
