The intrinsic-volume upper bound for intersections of congruent balls

About 7 years old · traced to

Let Ed{\mathbb E}^d be Euclidean dd-space, let P={p1,p2,…,pN}⊆EdP=\{\mathbf{p}_1,\mathbf{p}_2,\dots,\mathbf{p}_N\}\subseteq{\mathbb E}^d, and let PrP^r denote the intersection of the closed balls of radius rr centered at the points of PP. For a compact convex set, write rcr(P)r_{cr}(P) for its circumradius, let VkV_k denote its kkth intrinsic volume, and let Lr,ρ,dL_{r,\rho,d} be an rr-lense in Ed{\mathbb E}^d with inradius ρ\rho. The intrinsic-volume upper-bound conjecture. If r>r0>0r>r_0>0, N>1N>1, d>k>0d>k>0, and rcr(P)=r0r_{cr}(P)=r_0, then

Vk(Pr)≤Vk(Lr,r−r0,d).V_k(P^r)\leq V_k\left(L_{r,r-r_0,d}\right).

The conjecture extends the established volume bound for intersections of congruent balls to intrinsic volumes. The supplied context does not state whether this conjecture has been resolved.
