Non-concavity conjecture for the critical curve of long-range percolation
Non-concavity conjecture for the critical curve of long-range percolation
Let , let , and consider the critical curve for the case and of long-range percolation on an oriented -ary tree. For a function , concavity on an interval means that its graph lies above every chord joining two points of the graph.
Non-concavity conjecture. There exists such that is not concave on .
This claim formalizes the observation that the critical curve, contrary to an intuitive concave depiction, appears convex near when and . The supplied text does not state whether the claim has been proved or remains open.
