Abstract

This article is a survey based on our earlier paper ("The 'Vertical' Generalization of the Binary Goldbach's Conjecture as Applied on 'Iterative' Primes with (Recursive) Prime Indexes (i-primeths)" [11]), a paper in which we have proposed a new generalization of the binary/"strong" Goldbach's Conjecture (GC) briefly called "the Vertical Goldbach's Conjecture" (VGC), which is essentially a meta-conjecture, as VGC states an in finite number of Goldbach-like conjectures stronger than GC, which all apply on "iterative" primes with recursive prime indexes (named "i-primes"). VGC was discovered by the author of this paper in 2007, after which it was improved and extended (by computational verifications) until the present (2020). VGC distinguishes as a very important "meta-conjecture" of primes because it states a new class containing an infinite number of conjectures stronger/stricter than GC. VGC has great potential importance in the optimization of the GC experimental verification (including other possible theoretical and practical applications in mathematics and physics). VGC can be also regarded as a very special self-similar property of the distribution of the primes. This present survey contains some new results on VGC.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
