Conjecture that area-minimizing n-hedral tiles are convex
Conjecture that area-minimizing n-hedral tiles are convex
An -hedral tile is an -faced polyhedron that tiles space by congruent copies. A tile is area-minimizing when it has least surface area among -hedral tiles of the prescribed volume.
Convexity conjecture. For any , the least-area -hedral tile is convex.
The conjecture asks whether minimizing surface area under the tiling constraint forces convexity; it remains open in the source.
