Pierce–Birkhoff conjecture
In abstract algebra, the Pierce–Birkhoff conjecture asserts that any piecewise-polynomial function can be expressed as a maximum of finite minima of finite collections of polynomials. It was first stated, albeit in non-rigorous and vague wording, in the 1956 paper of Garrett Birkhoff and Richard S. Pierce in which they first introduced f-rings. The modern, rigorous statement of the conjecture was formulated by Melvin Henriksen and John R. Isbell, who worked on the problem in the early 1960s in connection with their work on f-rings. Their formulation is as follows:
:for every real piecewise-polynomial function f : R^n \rightarrow R, there exists a finite set of polynomials g_ \in R(\ldots, x_n ) such that f = \sup_i \inf_j ( g_ ).
Isbell is likely the source of the name ''Pierce–Birkhoff conjecture'', and popularized the problem in the 1980s by discussing it with several mathematicians interested in real algebraic geometry.〔
The conjecture was proved true for ''n'' = 1 and 2 by Louis Mahé.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Atlas Conferences, Inc. )
== Local Pierce–Birkhoff conjecture ==
In 1989, James J. Madden provided an equivalent statement that is in terms of the real spectrum of A = R(\ldots, x_n ) and the novel concepts of local polynomial representatives and separating ideals.
Denoting the real spectrum of ''A'' by \mathrm A, the ''separating ideal of ''α'' and ''β in \mathrm A is the ideal of ''A'' generated by all polynomials g \in A that change sign on ''α'' and ''β'', ''ie.'' g(\alpha) \ge 0 and g(\beta) \le 0. Any finite covering R^n = \cup_i P_i of closed, semi-algebraic sets induces a corresponding covering \mathrm A = \cup_i\tilde_i, so, in particular, when ''f'' is piecewise polynomial, there is a polynomial f_i for every \alpha\in\mathrm A such that f|_ = f_i|_ and \alpha\in\tilde_i. This f_i is termed the ''local polynomial representative of ''f'' at ''α.
Madden's so-called ''local Pierce–Birkhoff conjecture at ''α'' and ''β, which is equivalent to the Pierce–Birkhoff conjecture, is as follows:
: Let ''α'', ''β'' be in \mathrm A and ''f'' be piecewise-polynomial. It is conjectured that for every local representative of ''f'' at ''α'', f_\alpha, and local representative of ''f'' at ''β'', f_\beta, f_\alpha - f_\beta is in the separating ideal of ''α'' and ''β''.〔
