Core Viewpoint - A research team from South China University of Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, and the University of Macau has solved a key problem related to the "hotspot conjecture" in mathematics, with results published in the journal "Advances in Mathematics" [1] Group 1 - The research focuses on the behavior of heat distribution in an insulated room, where heat diffuses from high to low temperatures, leading to the existence of "hot" and "cold" points before equilibrium is reached [1] - The "hotspot conjecture," proposed by American mathematician Rauch in 1974, suggests that extreme temperature points are more likely to occur at the edges of a convex region rather than within its interior [1] - The research team conducted a systematic analysis over 13 years, addressing an open problem posed by Fields Medalist Terence Tao in 2012 regarding the precise location of maximum values [1]
