The L∞L_\infty Sobolev cubature lower-bound conjecture

About 8 years old · traced to

Let W∞,αr\mathbf W^r_{\infty,\alpha} be the weighted Sobolev-type function class, and let κm(W∞,αr)\kappa_m(\mathbf W^r_{\infty,\alpha}) denote the minimal cubature error over formulas with mm knots. L∞L_\infty Sobolev cubature lower-bound conjecture. For any d≥2d\ge 2 and any r>0r>0,

κm(W∞,αr)≥C(r,d)m−r(log⁡m)(d−1)/2.\kappa_m(\mathbf W^r_{\infty,\alpha}) \ge C(r,d)m^{-r}(\log m)^{(d-1)/2}.

This is the second big open problem identified in the paper. General nontrivial lower estimates for the p=∞p=\infty case are unavailable, although the paper gives a conditional result; consequently this conjecture remains open.
