Asymptotic polynomial conjecture for numerical semigroups generated by consecutive powers

Let RnkR_n^k, with n=Tkm+jn=T_km+j, be a numerical semigroup given by its minimal relations on the residue class of nn modulo TkT_k:

RTkm+jk:(E11(k)(m)E12(k)(m)E13(k)(m)E21(k)(m)E22(k)(m)E23(k)(m)E31(k)(m)E32(k)(m)E33(k)(m)),jTk2.R_{T_km+j}^k: \left(\begin{array}{rrr}E_{11}^{(k)}(m)&-E_{12}^{(k)}(m)&-E_{13}^{(k)}(m)\\-E_{21}^{(k)}(m)&E_{22}^{(k)}(m)&-E_{23}^{(k)}(m)\\-E_{31}^{(k)}(m)&-E_{32}^{(k)}(m)&E_{33}^{(k)}(m)\end{array}\right), \qquad j\leq \frac{T_k}{2}.

If k=2qk=2q, the polynomials Eij(k)(m)E_{ij}^{(k)}(m) have degree qq:

Eij(2q)(m)=Aijmq+Bijmq1++Cijm+Dij,1i,j3,E_{ij}^{(2q)}(m)=A_{ij}m^q+B_{ij}m^{q-1}+\ldots+C_{ij}m+D_{ij}, \qquad 1\leq i,j\leq 3,

and if k=2q+1k=2q+1, then Eij(2q+1)(m)E_{ij}^{(2q+1)}(m) has degree q+1q+1 for (i,j)=(1,1),(1,2),(2,1),(2,2)(i,j)=(1,1),(1,2),(2,1),(2,2) and degree qq for (i,j)=(1,3),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3)(i,j)=(1,3),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3). Asymptotic polynomial conjecture. For even k=2qk=2q, the Frobenius number and genus satisfy F(n),G(n)=O(n3q)F(n),G(n)={\cal O}(n^{3q}). For odd k=2q+1k=2q+1, they satisfy F(n),G(n)=O(n3q+2)F(n),G(n)={\cal O}(n^{3q+2}). The conjecture proposes a uniform polynomial description of the minimal relations and corresponding growth bounds for Frobenius numbers and genera of these numerical semigroups. The supplied text does not indicate whether the claim has been proved or remains open.
