Extract

1. Introduction. In a recent paper (2) Daykin has made the Conjecture. If t is real, then

where

He has proved (1, 2) that (i) Φ(t) is a convex function of t, (ii) Φ(t)≥ n if t ≥ 0 or 2, and (iii) Φ(t) takes values arbitrarily close to ½n if n is even, x2 = x4 = … = xn = 1, and xl = x3 = … = xn-1 and t have suitable small positive values. It is known (3) that (1) is true if t = 1.
