The endpoint monotonicity conjecture for polygonal lines of combinatorial Petrie matrices
Let and let be its corresponding polygonal line. If is even, consider the endpoints of ordered by increasing -coordinate. Endpoint monotonicity conjecture. Their -coordinates are weakly increasing in that order. The polygonal line is associated with a combinatorial Petrie matrix, and the claim concerns an additional monotonicity property beyond the established non-self-intersection and closed-curve properties. Its resolution is not indicated in the source.
