Questions, not proof records

Open-problem statements, with their sources attached.

Each statement record keeps the mathematical question, a dated status source, accessible references, and any pinned Lean formulation separate from proof verification.

“Open” is a dated source assertion. In these pinned sources, sorry marks an admitted statement, not a proof. Source indexing does not mean the formulation has been independently built or certified by Therefore.

Erdős Problem 1133

Let C>0C>0. There exists ϵ>0\epsilon>0 such that if nn is sufficiently large the following holds.

For any x1,,xn[1,1]x_1,\ldots,x_n\in [-1,1] there exist y1,,yn[1,1]y_1,\ldots,y_n\in [-1,1] such that, if PP is a polynomial of degree m<(1+ϵ)nm<(1+\epsilon)n with P(xi)=yiP(x_i)=y_i for at least (1ϵ)n(1-\epsilon)n many 1in1\leq i\leq n, then maxx[1,1]P(x)>C.\max_{x\in [-1,1]}\lvert P(x)\rvert >C.

Assume for n>1n>1, f:RnRnf:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^n is a bijection, where Rn\mathbb{R}^n is equipped with the standard topology. Does the connectedness of (the induced power set map) ff imply that of f1f^{-1}?

Mathoverflow 347178: Bounded Only

Let f:RnR,n2f : \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R, n \geq 2 be a C1C^1 function. Does the equality supxRnf(x)=supxRnf(x+f(x))\sup_{x \in \mathbb R^n}f(x) = \sup_{x\in \mathbb R^n} f(x+\nabla f(x)) hold when both suprema are finite?

Voronovskaja-type Formula for the Bezier Variant of the Bernstein Operators: Bezier Bernstein Operators

Conjecture: Voronovskaja-type formula for Bézier-Bernstein operators with shape parameter α>0\alpha > 0, α1\alpha \neq 1.

The source asks for sufficiently smooth functions. This concrete version uses ContDiffOn ℝ 2 f I as a readable baseline regularity assumption; since the domain is the compact interval [0,1][0,1], this also explains why no separate boundedness assumption is included here. The variants below record the unknown smoothness threshold more explicitly.
