Sharp Cassinian-to-jj-metric ball inclusion conjecture

Let DRnD\subsetneq\mathbb{R}^n be a proper subdomain, let xDx\in D, and let δD(x)\delta_D(x) be the Euclidean distance from xx to D\partial D. For a metric mm, write Bm(x,s)={yD:mD(x,y)<s}B_m(x,s)=\{y\in D:m_D(x,y)<s\}. Sharp Cassinian-to-jj-metric inclusion conjecture. For t>0t>0, one has

Bj(x,r)Bc(x,t)Bj(x,R),B_j(x,r)\subset B_c(x,t)\subset B_j(x,R),

where

r=log(1+tδD(x)),R=log(11tδD(x)).r=\log(1+t\delta_D(x)),\qquad R=\log\left(\frac{1}{1-t\delta_D(x)}\right).

Moreover, the radii rr and RR are best possible and R/r1R/r\to1 as t0t\to0. This generalizes the proved punctured-domain inclusion, but remains conjectural for arbitrary proper subdomains.
