Extreme-point conjecture for Nikol'skii constants

Let DRdD\subset\mathbb{R}^d be a convex compact set, and let C(PN,D,x)C(\mathcal{P}_N,D,\boldsymbol{x}) denote the Nikol'skii constant at xD\boldsymbol{x}\in D for the polynomial space PN\mathcal{P}_N. An extreme point of DD is a point of DD that does not lie in any open line segment joining two points of DD. Extreme-point conjecture. The maximum

maxxDC(PN,D,x)\max_{\boldsymbol{x}\in D} C(\mathcal{P}_N,D,\boldsymbol{x})

is achieved at an extreme point of DD. The conjecture would sharpen the understanding of where Nikol'skii constants attain their maxima; the surrounding discussion notes that boundary maxima are known for several domains, including balls, ellipsoids, cubes, and affine images of cubes, but does not establish the claim for every convex compact domain.
