Crossing-number conjecture for Chebyshev degrees of common difference two

Let TnT_n denote the degree-nn Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind. For an odd integer i3i\ge 3, the difference-two crossing-number conjecture. The parametrization

(Ti,Ti+2,Ti+4)(T_i,T_{i+2},T_{i+4})

parametrizes a knot with crossing number i+1i+1. This assertion appears in the paper's open-problems section as a pattern suggested by the tabulated Chebyshev-knot examples; no proof or resolution is supplied.
