Determine the exact minimum at non-distinguished lengths
Determine the exact value of J(L), the infimum of the mean geodesic distance over simple closed curves of prescribed length L, for every L>2π not belonging to the set {L_n=2π/sin(π/(2n)): n∈N}.
References
Classify all minimizers at L=L_n, and determine J(L) for L>2π with L\notin{L_n}.
