Weak asymptotic magnitude conjecture for compact Euclidean subsets
Weak asymptotic magnitude conjecture for compact Euclidean subsets
Let be a set of compact subsets of Euclidean spaces that includes polyconvex sets, circles, and Cantor sets. For , let denote its magnitude when defined, and let be the th intrinsic volume; write for the volume of the unit -ball.
Weak magnitude conjecture. There is a unique function such that:
- is well-defined for and
- satisfies the inclusion-exclusion principle; and
- if is polyconvex, then
This conjecture proposes a common asymptotic description of magnitude for polyconvex sets and fractal examples such as circles and Cantor sets, extending the intrinsic-volume formula beyond the polyconvex setting. The source does not state a resolution, so its status remains open.
