Continuous dd-step Conjecture for central-path curvature

About 17 years old · traced to

Let Λ(n,d)\Lambda(n,d) denote the largest total curvature of a central path over polytopes defined by nn inequalities in dimension dd and over all linear objectives.

Continuous dd-step Conjecture. The function Λ(2d,d)\Lambda(2d,d) grows linearly in its input; that is,

Λ(2d,d)∈O(d).\Lambda(2d,d) \in O(d).

The source states that this conjecture is equivalent to the Continuous Hirsch Conjecture. The supplied material gives no resolution of either conjecture.
