Conjecture on rightward correspondence of zeros of successive zeta derivatives

About 16 years old · traced to

For each k∈Nk\in\mathbb{N}, consider the non-trivial zeros of the successive derivatives ζ(k)(s)\zeta^{(k)}(s) and ζ(k+1)(s)\zeta^{(k+1)}(s).

Rightward correspondence conjecture. For k∈Nk\in\mathbb{N} there is a one-to-one correspondence between the zeros of ζ(k)(s)\zeta^{(k)}(s) and ζ(k+1)(s)\zeta^{(k+1)}(s), where the zero of ζ(k+1)(s)\zeta^{(k+1)}(s) is on the right of the corresponding zero of ζ(k)(s)\zeta^{(k)}(s).

The claim formalizes numerical observations attributed in the paper to Spira and Skorokhodov. The paper presents it as expected behavior for all derivatives and does not prove it.
