In this paper we study infinite isoperimetric clusters. An infinite cluster E in R d is a sequence of disjoint measurable sets E k R d , called regions of the cluster, k = 1 , 2 , 3 , A natural question is the existence of a cluster E with given volumes a k 0 of the regions E k , having finite perimeter P ( E ), which is minimal among all the clusters with regions having the same volumes. We prove that such a cluster exists in the planar case d = 2, for any choice of the areas a k with a k < . We also show the existence of a bounded minimizer with the property P ( E ) = H 1 ( ~ E ), where ~ E denotes the measure theoretic boundary of the cluster. Finally, we provide several examples of infinite isoperimetric clusters for anisotropic and fractional perimeters.
