Concavity conjecture for the speed of the maximum of frogs with drift
Concavity conjecture for the speed of the maximum of frogs with drift
For , let the frog model with drift parameter have maximum speed, namely the limiting speed of its rightmost frog, denoted by . Concavity conjecture. The speed of the maximum is a concave function of ; that is, for all and ,
The paper presents this as an open problem motivated by simulations and a heuristic involving a stationary distribution of the number of frogs at the maximum; it does not establish the claimed concavity.
