The unimodality conjecture for multidimensional flow numbers
For a fixed dimension and graph , let be the multidimensional flow number for the -norm, with .
Unimodality conjecture for flow numbers. As a function of , is unimodal: there exists such that it is non-decreasing for and non-increasing for . Moreover,
This conjecture proposes a precise dependence of multidimensional flow numbers on the norm parameter and identifies the Euclidean norm as the peak. The source says that the Euclidean case remains largely open.
