Optimizing the free energy under a mass constraint may generate a convex crystal subject to assumptions on the potential g(0)=0, g ≥ 0. The general problem classically attributed to Almgren is to infer if this is the case assuming the sub-level sets of g are convex. The theorem proven in the paper is that in one dimension the answer is positive.
