The golden-ratio limit conjecture for generalized diagonal Wythoff Nim

Fix p,q\binNp,q\bin \mathbb{N}, and let a=a(p,q)a=a(p,q) and b=b(p,q)b=b(p,q) denote the associated sequences. A pair (p,q)(p,q) is a splitting pair if it is a Wythoff pair or a dual Wythoff pair. The golden-ratio limit conjecture. The limit

limnNbnan\lim_{n\in \mathbb{N}}\frac{b_n}{a_n}

exists and equals the golden ratio Φ\Phi if and only if (p,q)(p,q) is a non-splitting pair. This predicts that splitting pairs are exactly the exceptional parameters for the golden-ratio asymptotic ratio.
