The isosceles right triangle conjecture for fixed-area right triangles
The isosceles right triangle conjecture for fixed-area right triangles
Let , and consider all right triangles of area . Write for the torsional rigidity of a right triangle .
Isosceles right triangle conjecture. Among all right triangles with area , the one with largest torsional rigidity is the isosceles right triangle with area .
The conjecture is motivated by the symmetry of other known extremal shapes and specializes to the unit-area claim discussed earlier. The source does not report a proof or disproof; its numerical study only gives approximate verification.
