The rc-convex hull conjecture for hole-free digital pictures

Let (X,c2,c1)(X,c_2,c_1) be a digital picture with no hole, and let Hrc(X)H_{rc}(X) denote its rc-convex hull. Rc-convex hull conjecture. The digital picture (Hrc(X),c2,c1)(H_{rc}(X),c_2,c_1) is a set of largest cardinality in the homotopy type of (X,c2,c1)(X,c_2,c_1). This conjecture asks whether the rc-convex hull always gives a largest representative within the homotopy type for hole-free digital pictures with adjacency pair (c2,c1)(c_2,c_1); the supplied text does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
