Equality between gem-complexity and Matveev complexity for lens spaces

Let L(p,q)L(p,q) be a lens space, let k(L(p,q))k(L(p,q)) denote its gem-complexity, and let c(L(p,q))c(L(p,q)) denote its Matveev complexity.

Lens-space complexity equality conjecture. For every p3p\ge 3,

k(L(p,q))=5+2c(L(p,q)).k(L(p,q))=5+2\cdot c(L(p,q)).

The claim is suggested by propositions in the paper and by equality in specified infinite classes; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
