Conjecture on Benford behavior of lower-dimensional volumes
Conjecture on Benford behavior of lower-dimensional volumes
Let an -dimensional object undergo a fragmentation process, and let -dimensional volumes with be the corresponding lower-dimensional geometric measures of its pieces. The Benford distribution is the distribution of significands specified by Benford's law.
Lower-dimensional volume conjecture. A -dimensional volume for an -dimensional object, where , undergoing a fragmentation process follows the Benford distribution for the appropriate set of conditions.
This generalizes the rectangle-perimeter conjecture to arbitrary lower-dimensional volumes. The phrase “appropriate set of conditions” is not specified in the supplied text, and no resolution is given.
