The Motzkin product conjecture for entangled threads
The Motzkin product conjecture for entangled threads
Let an even thread be a thread of even type and an odd thread be a thread of odd type. For an even thread and an odd thread , consider the threads entangled with each of them. Motzkin product conjecture. For any even thread and odd thread , the number of odd threads entangled with , respectively the number of even threads entangled with , is a product of Motzkin numbers. This conjecture predicts a uniform product formula extending the product formulas established for layered even and odd threads; proving it remains open.
