Density conjecture for 2-paths among piecewise Hölder-differentiable curves
Density conjecture for 2-paths among piecewise Hölder-differentiable curves
Let denote the space of differentiable functions with derivative , where . For a curve , let be the enclosed area associated with radius , and call a 2-path if there is an such that .
Density conjecture. The subset of piecewise 2-paths is dense in .
This conjecture formalizes the empirical observation that, for most paths, two copies of the path admit a radius producing a trajectoid. The statement concerns density in an infinite-dimensional function space, where genericity and measure-theoretic claims are delicate; no resolution is given here.
