The plane radial-density conjecture for circles, undularies, and pinched circles
The plane radial-density conjecture for circles, undularies, and pinched circles
Consider the plane with perimeter density , where , and area density . The relevant candidate isoperimetric curves are circles about the origin, undularies, and pinched circles through the origin.
Plane radial-density conjecture. For , the following curves are isoperimetric:
This fills the area-density range between and omitted by the preceding proposition, by transferring the sector transition values through the power change of coordinates. The supplied text does not report a resolution.
