Révész–Sarantopoulos conjecture on the Bernstein factor for convex bodies

Let KK be a convex body in a normed space, let xintKx\in\operatorname{int}K, and let Bn(K,x)B_n(K,x) denote the Bernstein factor at xx for polynomials of degree at most nn. Write w(K)w(K) for the minimal width of KK, and let α(K,x)\alpha(K,x) be the associated Minkowski asymmetry parameter. Révész–Sarantopoulos conjecture.

Bn(K,x)=2nw(K)1α2(K,x).B_n(K,x)=\frac{2n}{w(K)\sqrt{1-\alpha^2(K,x)}}.

The preceding estimate differs from this proposed sharp formula only by a factor arising from replacing 1+α(K,x)1+\alpha(K,x) by its upper bound 22. The conjecture is stated for arbitrary convex bodies and is open in the supplied text.
