Unbounded balanced vertices for planar geodesic nets with four unbalanced vertices
Unbounded balanced vertices for planar geodesic nets with four unbalanced vertices
Let a geodesic net in the Euclidean plane have four unbalanced vertices and some number of balanced vertices. Four-vertex unboundedness conjecture. There exist geodesic nets in the Euclidean plane with unbalanced vertices and an arbitrarily large number of balanced vertices. The assertion may already hold when the unbalanced vertices are the vertices of a square. This would show that no bound exists for the number of balanced vertices in terms of four fixed unbalanced vertices, extending the search beyond the known irreducible example with balanced vertices.
