Nandakumar–Ramana Rao conjecture for convex bodies
Let be a planar convex body and let be a natural number. A partition of the plane into convex pieces is a collection of convex pieces whose union is the plane. Nandakumar–Ramana Rao conjecture. There exists such a partition satisfying
and
The case was proved by Nandakumar and Ramana Rao, and the case was later resolved by Bárány, Blagojević, and Szűcs using topological methods; the general case remains open.
