Euclidean ball extremality conjecture for finite-facet volume approximation
Euclidean ball extremality conjecture for finite-facet volume approximation
Fix with and , and let be a convex body in . For a polytope with at most facets, write for the symmetric volume difference and for the volume of . Euclidean-ball extremality conjecture. Then
The conjecture asserts that, among convex bodies normalized against their own volume, the Euclidean ball is hardest to approximate by polytopes with at most facets. It is motivated by the affine isoperimetric inequality, which gives the corresponding extremal statement for the leading asymptotic constant as ; the finite- inequality remains open.
