Disk conjecture for the roots of the descent polynomial
Disk conjecture for the roots of the descent polynomial
Let be a finite subset of the positive integers, let be the maximal element of , and let be the descent polynomial associated with . For a root of this polynomial, consider the disk whose diameter has endpoints and .
Disk conjecture. If
then
This conjecture is motivated by numerical computations for , the case , and a result concerning real roots. It simultaneously implies the two previously discussed bounds, but the source does not state that it has been resolved.
