Monotonicity conjecture for the Hilbert depth of lexsegment ideals

Let S=K[x1,,xn]S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n], and let ISI\subset S be a lexsegment ideal generated by monomials of degree dd. Write μ(I)\mu(I) for the number of minimal generators of II. Lexsegment Hilbert-depth monotonicity conjecture. The function hdepth1(I)\operatorname{hdepth}_1(I) is decreasing as a function of μ(I)\mu(I).

Such a monotonicity statement would describe how the standard graded Hilbert depth changes as the number of generators of a fixed-degree lexsegment ideal increases. The source presents it as a conjectural belief supported by computational evidence, and no resolution is supplied.
