Makai's extremal conjecture for d2,1d_{2,1}

For a convex body KR2K\subset\mathbb R^{2}, let d2,1(K)d_{2,1}(K) be the non-separable lattice quantity defined in the source. The Makai extremal conjecture.

max{d2,1(K)KR2 is a convex body}=π38=0.68017,\max\{d_{2,1}(K)\mid K\subset\mathbb R^{2}\text{ is a convex body}\}=\frac{\pi\sqrt{3}}{8}=0.68017\ldots,

with equality possible only for ellipses. This is the extremal formulation of the upper-bound conjecture stated immediately earlier in the source, so it is merged here as its fullest restatement. The source does not provide evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
