Dominant-eigenvalue pattern conjecture for generalized Petersen limiting curves

For a family of generalized Petersen graphs G(nk,k)G(nk,k), let Qc(k)Q_c(k) be the real crossing value and let μk+1,,(),\mu_{k+1,\ell,(\ell),\star} denote the indicated dominant eigenvalues. Dominant-eigenvalue pattern conjecture. For k4k\geq4, the dominant eigenvalue on regions intersecting the real QQ-axis is given by the five-case formula in the source, and consequently Q=1,3Q=1,3 and, when Qc(k)>5Q_c(k)>5, Q=5Q=5 are isolated limiting points, while Q=2,4,Qc(k)Q=2,4,Q_c(k) are non-isolated limiting points. The source says the conjecture is also valid for k=3k=3 after omitting the empty μk+1,3,(3),\mu_{k+1,3,(3),\star} region, and reports validation for the studied cases.
