Strong Terminating Conjecture for M&m sequences
Starting from the normalized initial values , let be the associated M&m sequence, and let denote the minimum integer such that for all . Strong Terminating Conjecture. For every , there exists an integer such that for all ; equivalently, , or the associated sequence of medians eventually becomes constant. This is the normalized formulation of the stability conjecture. The paper's abstract says that the conjecture is proved for a subset of possible starting conditions, while the full statement remains open in the supplied source.
