Eisenstein isoperimetric inequality for Fibonacci colorings
Eisenstein isoperimetric inequality for Fibonacci colorings
Let and be primitive Eisenstein integers, and write when . Let be a Fibonacci Eisenstein integer, let be a different Eisenstein integer with , and let be the associated triangulation. Let be the continued-fraction coloring associated with , and let be an arbitrary good coloring of . For a coloring , let . Eisenstein isoperimetric inequality for Fibonacci colorings. One should have
The claim is motivated by computations for the first ten examples and by examples in which the continued-fraction coloring minimizes the fold count. It would establish the Eisenstein isoperimetric inequality within the continued-fraction family, but the source reports no proof.
