Density conjecture for squarefree trinomial discriminant values

Let SS be the set of positive integers nn for which nn+(1)n(n1)n1n^n+(-1)^n(n-1)^{n-1} is squarefree. Squarefree-value density conjecture. The set SS has density

0.9934466,0.9934466\dots,

correct to that many decimal places. This conjecture predicts the density suggested by extensive computation, although the paper cannot currently prove a nontrivial lower bound for the density or even prove that infinitely many values in the sequence are squarefree.
