Conjectural formula for the threshold at which two additional roots appear

About 11 years old · traced to

Let p∈Z+p\in\mathbb{Z}^+, define p∗=pmod  9p^*=p\mod 9, and let n0(p)n_0(p) denote the first value of nn for which the two additional solutions in the paper's theorem occur. Threshold formula conjecture.

n0(p)=68⌊p9⌋+7p∗+⌊p∗2⌋.n_0(p)=68\left\lfloor\frac{p}{9}\right\rfloor+7p^*+\left\lfloor\frac{p^*}{2}\right\rfloor.

The theorem establishes persistence of the additional roots after their appearance, while the displayed formula is presented as a numerical conjecture for the threshold. Its status is open in the supplied text.
