Conjecture on monotonicity of worst-case error for spherical t-designs
Let denote the quadrature rule associated with a spherical -design consisting of points, and let be its worst-case error.
Worst-case error monotonicity conjecture. For fixed , if , then
The conjecture is motivated by numerical experiments comparing well-conditioned and efficient spherical -designs. It predicts that increasing the number of points does not increase the worst-case error, but the source provides no proof or resolution.
