The explicit lower-bound conjecture for zeta

From papers

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(1H21(eu)H21(ew)2,eu+ew2)+(H21(eu)H21(ew))J(H21(ew))J(H21(eu))2ϕ(1mumw2,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 ϕΨ\phi\in\Psi. It is an open finite-dimensional inequality proposed as part of the route to the balanced most-informative Boolean function conjecture.
