Monotonic-zero conjecture for incomplete gamma functions

Let a>0a>0 be a fixed real number, and let QQ denote the first quadrant of the complex plane. A function has monotonic zeros in QQ when its zeros there, listed by increasing real part, have monotone nondecreasing imaginary parts. Incomplete-gamma monotonic-zero conjecture. The incomplete gamma function Γ(z,a)\Gamma(z,a) has monotonic zeros in QQ. The source says that computer calculations support this conjecture, while the general zero distribution of Γ(z,a)\Gamma(z,a) for fixed positive real aa is not well understood.
