The Sharp Threshold for the Dyn-Farkhi Conjecture

Dyn and Farkhi conjectured that the squared Hausdorff distance from a compact set to its convex hull is subadditive under Minkowski addition. It holds in dimensions one and two and fails from dimension three; the sharp threshold exponent for Hausdorff convexification is now determined.

pins the sharp threshold; the conjecture itself was already known false above dimension two
