Monotonicity conjecture for the sequences tnt_n and TnT_n

From papers

Let (tn)n=1(t_n)_{n=1}^{\infty} and (Tn)n=1(T_n)_{n=1}^{\infty} be the sequences whose values are listed in the table preceding the conjecture. Monotonicity conjecture. For every nZ+n\in\mathbb{Z}^+,

tn+1tnandTnTn+1.t_{n+1}\leq t_n\quad\text{and}\quad T_n\leq T_{n+1}.

The conjecture asserts that (tn)(t_n) is nonincreasing while (Tn)(T_n) is nondecreasing; the supplied source gives numerical evidence but no resolution.
