TL;DR
This paper discusses two interconnected errors in the Du-Hwang approach to the Gilbert-Pollack Steiner ratio conjecture, highlighting gaps that hinder progress in this mathematical problem.
Contribution
It identifies and analyzes specific mistakes in the Du-Hwang method, contributing to a clearer understanding of the conjecture's challenges.
Findings
Two key mistakes in the Du-Hwang approach are identified.
The gaps prevent resolving the Steiner ratio conjecture using this method.
The paper clarifies the limitations of the current approach.
Abstract
