Ramos's conjecture for the Grünbaum–Hadwiger–Ramos function

At least 3 years old · documented by

Let Δ(j,k)\Delta(j,k) be the minimal dimension dd of a Euclidean space Rd\mathbb{R}^d such that every collection of jj masses in Rd\mathbb{R}^d admits a kk-arrangement equiparting all the masses. Ramos's conjecture.

Δ(j,k)=⌈2k−1kj⌉\Delta(j,k)=\left\lceil \frac{2^k-1}{k}j\right\rceil

for every j≥1j\geq 1 and k≥1k\geq 1. The formula would determine the minimal dimension in the Grünbaum–Hadwiger–Ramos mass-partition problem. It is motivated by the lower bound derived from Avis's ideas and Ramos's work; the source presents the equality as a conjecture, with its general status unresolved.
