凡得瓦登猜想

線性代數中,Van der Waerden猜想是一個關於積和式的命題,其具體內容如下:

對於任意的雙轉移矩陣,其積和式的值大於等於

注意到該下界在所有元素均為時成立。該猜想由Bartel Leendert van der Waerden英語Bartel Leendert van der Waerden在1926年提出[1],在1980年由B. Gyires[2],1981年由G. P. Egorychev[3]和D. I. Falikman[4]獨立證明,其中Egorychev的證明用到了Alexandrov–Fenchel不等式英語Alexandrov–Fenchel inequality[5]由於這項工作,Egorychev和Falikman贏得了1982年的Fulkerson獎英語Fulkerson Prize[6]
