The explicit lower-bound conjecture for zeta

About 1 year old · traced to

Let mu,mw,eu,ew∈[0,1]m_u,m_w,e_u,e_w\in[0,1] satisfy H2(mu)≥euH_2(m_u)\geq e_u and H2(mw)≥ewH_2(m_w)\geq e_w. Let ϕ\phi and JJ be the functions defined in the paper. The explicit lower-bound conjecture. One has

ϕ(1−∣H2−1(eu)−H2−1(ew)∣2,eu+ew2)+(H2−1(eu)−H2−1(ew))J(H2−1(ew))−J(H2−1(eu))2−ϕ(1−∣mu−mw∣2,eu+ew2)≥ϕ(mu+mw2,eu+ew2)−12ϕ(mu,eu)−12ϕ(mw,ew).\begin{aligned} &\phi\left(\frac{1-|H_2^{-1}(e_u)-H_2^{-1}(e_w)|}{2},\frac{e_u+e_w}{2}\right)\\ &+(H_2^{-1}(e_u)-H_2^{-1}(e_w))\frac{J(H_2^{-1}(e_w))-J(H_2^{-1}(e_u))}{2}\\ &-\phi\left(\frac{1-|m_u-m_w|}{2},\frac{e_u+e_w}{2}\right)\\ &\geq \phi\left(\frac{m_u+m_w}{2},\frac{e_u+e_w}{2}\right)-\frac12\phi(m_u,e_u)-\frac12\phi(m_w,e_w). \end{aligned}

This inequality, together with the preceding theorem in the paper, would establish that ϕ∈Ψ\phi\in\Psi. It is an open finite-dimensional inequality proposed as part of the route to the balanced most-informative Boolean function conjecture.
