Circular-arc conjecture for minimizers of the Gamma-limit functional
Circular-arc conjecture for minimizers of the Gamma-limit functional
Assume that is not central. Let be as in the symmetry condition, and let be the minimum total angle compatible with . Let be a minimizer of the \Gamma-limit functional . Circular-arc conjecture. If , then the trajectory is composed of circular arcs centered at the origin and passing through some rotation axes, which are swept with uniform motion. The conjecture predicts the structure of minimizers in the noncentral-cone case for ; the supplied text does not state whether it has been proved or disproved.
