Finiteness conjecture for tame integral positive SL3\operatorname{SL}_3-friezes of height 4

Let a tame integral positive SL3\operatorname{SL}_3-frieze be a tame frieze pattern whose entries are nonnegative integers and whose adjacent 3×33\times3 minors have determinant 11; its height is the number of nontrivial rows. Finiteness conjecture for tame integral positive SL3\operatorname{SL}_3-friezes. There are only finitely many tame integral positive SL3\operatorname{SL}_3-friezes of height 44. More precisely, the number of such friezes could be 2695226952. The preceding discussion explains that tame friezes are periodic and are determined by a periodic sequence of tuples, so the conjecture asks for finiteness—and suggests the possible count 2695226952—in this specific height-four case.
