α1α2, …, αp are n-dimensional vectors,

,;

they are arranged to form a closed polygon

.

Denote by R(α1, α2, …, αp) the radius of the smallest circumscribed hypersphere with centre at 0 ; by R(α1, α2, …, αp) the minimum of

(α1, α2, …, αp)

for all possible reorderings

of α2, …, αp−1 and by cn the least possible constant such that

for all possible choices of p and α1α2, … , αp.
