The regularity conjecture for H(I,I+2)H(I,I+2)

Let H(I,J)H(I,J) be the least positive integer nn such that there exist II disjoint Golomb rulers, each a JJ-subset of 1,2,,n\\{1,2,\ldots,n\\}. Regularity conjecture. For every integer I8I\geq8,

H(I,I+2)=I(I+2).H(I,I+2)=I(I+2).

Thus the conjecture predicts regular disjoint Golomb rulers in this parameter range. The paper reports that the assertion has been confirmed computationally for I8,,150I\in\\{8,\ldots,150\\}, but treats the unrestricted statement as conjectural.

  1. Regularity conjecture for H(I,I+2)H(I,I+2)

    For positive integers II and JJ, let H(I,J)H(I,J) be the least nn for which there are II disjoint JJ-mark Golomb rulers in {1,,n}\{1,\ldots,n\}. Regularity conjecture for H(I,I+2)H(I,I+2). For every integer I4I\geq4,

    H(I,I+2)=I(I+2).H(I,I+2)=I(I+2).

    The source reports that this is known for I{4,5,6,7}I\in\{4,5,6,7\} from results of Kløve and Shearer, while the general assertion remains open.
