Xu's conjecture on the bound for the recursively defined polynomial TdT_d

For d3d\ge 3, let TdT_d be the recursively defined polynomial in the elementary symmetric functions on the standard simplex TdT^d, and write TdC(Td)\|T_d\|_{C(T^d)} for its uniform norm. The theorem in the paper proves the relevant least-deviation equalities for d=3,4,5d=3,4,5. Xu's TdT_d norm conjecture. For d6d\ge 6, one has

Td(x)C(Td)1.\|T_d(x)\|_{C(T^d)}\le 1.

Consequently, the equality in the two preceding least-deviation theorems also holds for d6d\ge 6. The claim is presented as the missing step in extending the proved cases to higher dimensions, and the source gives no proof for d6d\ge 6.
