Large-load uniqueness conjecture for the canonical dual problem

Let (P)({\cal P}) be a properly posed problem satisfying Assumption 1, let f\mathbf f be its load vector, and let (Pd)({\cal P}^d) be the associated canonical dual problem over Sc+{\cal S}^+_c. Large-load uniqueness conjecture. There exists a constant fc>0f_c>0 such that (Pd)({\cal P}^d) has a unique solution in Sc+{\cal S}^+_c whenever

ffc.\|\mathbf f\|\geq f_c.

The claim asserts that sufficiently large loads force uniqueness of the canonical dual solution. The supplied text gives no evidence of a proof or disproof, and the precise content of Assumption 1 is not included, so the conjecture remains open.
