Exact formula conjecture for the symmetric subset function

Let Δ(ε)\Delta(\varepsilon) denote the symmetric subset function studied in the source, with 0ε10\leq\varepsilon\leq1. Exact formula conjecture for Δ\Delta.

Δ(ε)=max{2ε1,π4ε2}\Delta(\varepsilon)=\max\left\{2\varepsilon-1,\frac\pi4\varepsilon^2\right\}

for all 0ε10\leq\varepsilon\leq1.

The source presents exact determination of Δ(ε)\Delta(\varepsilon) as the principal remaining question. It has established bounds on Δ\Delta, but the exact value throughout the interval remains open in the supplied text.
