Hadamard-type conjecture on graph and level-set concavity
Hadamard-type conjecture on graph and level-set concavity
Let be a planar domain and let be positive with zero boundary values. Write , and define
Hadamard-type conjecture. (i) is concave if and only if for every . (ii) is -concave, meaning that has convex level sets , if and only if for every .
These equivalences relate concavity of the graph and convexity of its superlevel sets to differential inequalities involving the Hessian of . The source presents them as conjectural because a proof was not supplied; no resolution is given in the provided text.
