Maximization of a cubic form over the $14$-dimensional sphere

For any integers $i$ and $j$ such as $1\le i<j\le6$, let $x_{ij}$ be a nonnegative real number. Is it true that, given the condition $$\sum_{1\le i<j\le6}x_{ij}^2=1,$$ the sum $$\sum_{1\le i<...

A conjecture about the barycenter of a polytope

Could someone help me with the following conjecture? Thanks a lot! Suppose I have a polytope $\Delta$ in $\mathbb R^n (n\geq 2)$ with coordinates $(x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n)$ defined by linear ...
