The quasiconcavity conjecture for Burkholder functions
For and , define the Burkholder matrix function
The source also defines the planar Burkholder function and calls these functions Burkholder functions. Quasiconcavity conjecture. Burkholder functions are quasiconcave.
The preceding theorem establishes rank-one concavity, but rank-one concavity does not generally imply quasiconcavity. The conjecture asks whether this implication holds for this distinguished family of integrands.
