The exact-period conjecture for eventual quasilinearity of the omega-function

Let Γ\Gamma be a numerical monoid with least generator n1n_1, and let ω(n)\omega(n) denote its omega-function. Exact-period conjecture. For all sufficiently large nn, the function ω(n)\omega(n) is quasilinear with period exactly n1n_1.

Eventual quasilinearity is known, with the period guaranteed to divide n1n_1; computational data in the source consistently gives period exactly n1n_1. The conjecture asks whether this exact period always occurs.
