Quartic Legendre multiplier sequence region conjecture

Consider the sequence

{(k2+k)2+b(k2+k)+c}k=0.\{(k^2+k)^2+b(k^2+k)+c\}_{k=0}^{\infty}.

A pair (b,c)(b,c) lies in the multiplier sequence region when this sequence is a multiplier sequence for the Legendre basis. Quartic Legendre multiplier sequence region conjecture. The sequence is a multiplier sequence for the Legendre basis if and only if (b,c)(b,c) lies in the region of the bcbc-plane bounded by the bb-axis, the parabola

c=(b+2)284,c=\frac{(b+2)^2}{8}-4,

and the curve

0=b5(c+15)b4+4(c+12)b3+8(c2+24c+19)b216(10c2+101c+33)b16(c350c2185c+63).0=b^5-(c+15)b^4+4(c+12)b^3+8(c^2+24c+19)b^2-16(10c^2+101c+33)b-16(c^3-50c^2-185c+63).

The conjecture gives a proposed exact parameter region for quartic multiplier sequences in the Legendre basis; the source motivates it through an analysis of the symbol curve and numerical or graphical evidence, but provides no proof or resolution.
