Exact formula conjecture for the symmetric subset function

About 22 years old · traced to

Let Δ(ε)\Delta(\varepsilon) denote the symmetric subset function studied in the source, with 0≤ε≤10\leq\varepsilon\leq1. Exact formula conjecture for Δ\Delta.

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

for all 0≤ε≤10\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.
