Uniqueness conjecture for the solution attaining the extremal minimum Ξmin⁡(x0)\Xi_{\min}(x_0)

About 22 years old · traced to

Let x0≤X(0)x_0\leq X(0), and let Ξmin⁡(x0)\Xi_{\min}(x_0) be the extremal minimum location defined by

Ξmin⁡(x0)=sup⁡y0,ylxmin⁡(x0;y0,yl).\Xi_{\min}(x_0)=\sup_{y_0,y_l}x_{\min}(x_0;y_0,y_l).

Uniqueness conjecture. For any x0x_0, the solution with a pole at x0x_0 and minimum at Ξmin⁡(x0)\Xi_{\min}(x_0) is unique. The claim is presented as a numerical and heuristic extension of the preceding extremal-minimum uniqueness conjecture; no proof or resolution is supplied.
