The floor-probability bounds conjecture for convex sets
The floor-probability bounds conjecture for convex sets
Let be a compact convex set with a flat floor over the segment , and let denote the corresponding probability that independent uniformly random points, together with the two endpoints of the floor, are in convex position. Set
Floor-probability bounds conjecture. For all and all ,
The lower and upper bounds generalize the known bounds, with the triangle and square giving the respective benchmark values. The supplied text presents these inequalities as a belief and does not provide a resolution.
