Jerrad et al.'s conjecture that every convex polyhedron is Rupert
A Rupert compact convex set admits a passage in which a second copy of passes straight through a hole in the interior of the first, with rescaling factor . The Nieuwland constant is the largest possible rescaling factor for such a passage. Jerrad et al.'s conjecture. Every convex polyhedron in is Rupert. The conjecture asks whether the Rupert property holds universally for three-dimensional convex polyhedra; the paper notes that the unit ball is not Rupert and that several Archimedean and Catalan solids remain unresolved.
