Ahmed–Kullmann–Snevily's one-count bound for good partitions

For t3t\geqslant 3, let S(t)S(t) be the set of good partitions considered in the paper, and for BS(t)B\in S(t) let n1(B)n_1(B) denote the number of 11's in BB. One-count bound conjecture. For every BS(t)B\in S(t) and every BS(t1)B'\in S(t-1),

n1(B)n1(B)w(2;3,t1)+2t.n_1(B')\leqslant n_1(B)\leqslant w(2;3,t-1)+2t.

The claim is an observed property of good partitions in the computed range and is presented as a conjecture; no resolution is supplied in the paper excerpt.
