Conjecture on reducing Hamiltonian operators by contact transformations and potentiation

Let HH be a translation-invariant Hamiltonian operator of order N7N\geq 7. A potentiation is the transformation

x=y,u=vy.x=y,\qquad u=v_y.

A quasiconstant coefficient skew-adjoint differential operator has coefficients depending only on xx.

Potentiation normal-form conjecture. HH can be transformed into a quasiconstant coefficient skew-adjoint differential operator using either a contact transformation or a composition thereof with the potentiation.

This is presented as a stronger reformulation of the preceding conjecture, using the extended transformation x=vx=v, u=1/vyu=1/v_y and its decomposition into potentiation and hodograph transformations. Its resolution is not given in the source.
