Abstract

We determine the asymptotic behavior as the degree tends to infinity of the minimal L1 norm m(n,d) of the solution of an optimization problem arising when studying polynomial sphere maps. Here n is the source dimension and d is the degree. We provide upper and lower bounds for m(n,d). We use these bounds to show that the function dm(n,d) is monotone increasing in d. We prove that limdm(n,d)d=n(n1). Let N(n,d) denote the minimum possible target dimension of a monomial sphere map of degree d. We show, in source dimension unequal to 2, that limdm(n,d)N(n,d)=n. The limit is 4 when n=2. We discuss some complicated results obtained by coding when n=2.
