Uniform condition-number conjecture for the trace Schur complement

About 10 years old · traced to

Let λmin⁡(s,h)\lambda_{\min}(s,h) and λmax⁡(s,h)\lambda_{\max}(s,h) be respectively the smallest and largest generalized eigenvalues of the trace Schur-complement matrix relative to the fractional norm matrix Hs{\mathsf{H}}_s, with s<0s<0. Define the condition number by

κ(s,h)=λmax⁡(s,h)λmin⁡(s,h).\kappa(s,h)=\frac{\lambda_{\max}(s,h)}{\lambda_{\min}(s,h)}.

Uniform condition-number conjecture. There exist s<0s<0 and a constant CC such that

κ(s,h)≤C∀h>0.\kappa(s,h)\leq C\qquad\forall h>0.

This weaker requirement asks only for a mesh-independent condition number, rather than uniform lower and upper spectral-equivalence bounds; the source presents it as an additional computational criterion.
