Main conjecture on the recursive structure of fusible numbers
Main conjecture on the recursive structure of fusible numbers
Let be the set of fusible numbers. For , let be its successor, let denote the relevant minimum gap, and write
as before. Main conjecture. For every and every , the fusible numbers in can be written as for some . Equivalently, is a translated copy of
scaled by a factor of . This conjecture proposes a self-similar description of the fusible numbers in the intervals between a number and its successor, following the failure of the earlier formula for all fusible numbers; the source provides no proof or resolution.
