The Bobkov–Madiman–Wang volume monotonicity conjecture for Minkowski sums
Let be a compact set in for some . For , write
The volume is the Lebesgue measure, denoted by . Bobkov–Madiman–Wang conjecture. The sequence
is non-decreasing in . This conjecture asks whether the volume convergence of to the convex hull of is monotone; it is a proposed extension of the evident equality for convex sets and the Shapley–Folkman–Starr convergence theorem. The supplied text gives no general resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
