Ahmed–Kullmann–Snevily's double-zero conjecture for good partitions

About 15 years old · traced to

For t⩾3t\geqslant 3, let S(t)S(t) be the set of good partitions considered in the paper, and for B∈S(t)B\in S(t) let n00(B)n_{00}(B) denote the number of occurrences of 0000 in BB. Double-zero conjecture. For every B∈S(t)B\in S(t),

n00(B)<t.n_{00}(B)<t.

The claim is based on the tabulated cases 3⩽t⩽143\leqslant t\leqslant 14 and is presented as a conjecture; no resolution is supplied in the paper excerpt.
