Middle-coordinate abundance conjecture for bounded ordered integer simplices
Middle-coordinate abundance conjecture for bounded ordered integer simplices
Let be a natural number greater than , let be a natural number strictly less than , and let be another natural number. For the simplex considered in the paper, compare -element subsets whose coordinate values in a specified position are distinct. Middle-coordinate abundance conjecture. For every sufficiently small cardinality , there are more -element subsets of with distinct coordinates than there are -element subsets with distinct coordinates. This conjecture proposes a general form of the observed phenomenon that middle dimensions of the order simplex are more ample than its outer dimensions; the paper establishes only several specific identities and does not provide a general tool for proving the claim.
