Unique gear-mapping parameter for prescribed prevertices

From papers

Let t1,t2t_1,t_2 satisfy

0<t1<t2<π/2.0<t_1<t_2<\pi/2.

For a real parameter λ\lambda, let ff be the solution of

Sf=Rt1,t2,λ{\mathcal{S}}_f=R_{t_1,t_2,\lambda}

normalized by Jf(0)=(0,1,0)J_f(0)=(0,1,0), and call ff a gear mapping when its image is a gear-shaped domain. Uniqueness conjecture. For every such pair t1,t2t_1,t_2, there is a unique λR\lambda\in\mathbb{R} for which ff is a gear mapping. This conjecture is motivated by numerical examples of repositioning the gear center; the supplied text gives no proof or resolution, so the uniqueness remains open.
