What is the largest radius of the circle?

Algebra Level 4

Let S S be the set of pairs of real numbers ( x , y ) (x,y) such that for at least one pair of positive integers m , n m,n ,

m n ( 2 ( x m + y n ) ( x 2 + y 2 ) ) > m 3 n + n 3 m 1 4 mn(2(xm+yn) - (x^2+y^2)) > m^3n+n^3m - \frac{1}{4}

As it turns out, for some values of r r , given any closed circle C r C_r of radius r r , S C r S\cap C_r is always connected.

What is the largest value for 2 r 2r that satisfies this condition? Give to three decimal places.

Note: The null set is (trivially) connected.


The answer is 0.146.
