Steiner symmetrization conjecture for the largest random angle
Steiner symmetrization conjecture for the largest random angle
Let be a convex subset of , let be a unit vector in , and let denote the Steiner symmetrization of along . For , write for the largest angle determined by random points in . Steiner symmetrization conjecture. For every natural , every natural , every convex subset of , every unit vector in , and every , one has
Thus Steiner symmetrization is conjectured to make the largest angle stochastically smaller. The preceding proposition establishes that Steiner symmetrization does not increase the elongation coefficient, and the conjecture asks for the corresponding finite-sample stochastic comparison; its resolution is not indicated in the source.
