Longest minimal length partition conjecture
Longest minimal length partition conjecture
Let , let denote the volume of the unit ball in , and let be a domain. For , let be the minimal length of a partition of into two regions of prescribed volumes and . For and with , let be the minimal perimeter of a partition into regions with prescribed volume fractions .
Longest minimal length partition conjecture. Given , the set maximizing under the constraint is the ball. Given and with , the set maximizing under the constraint is the ball.
The conjecture extends the equal-area results to partitions with prescribed, possibly unequal, volumes. Numerical simulations suggest that the disk in two dimensions and the ball in three dimensions maximize the minimal partition length or perimeter, but the general assertion remains open.
