Lando's continued-fraction conjecture for the universal sl2sl_2 weight system

From papers

Let Dn(x)D_n(x) denote the polynomial associated with the nn-chord diagram, and define

F(x,t)=n0Dn(x)tn.F(x,t)=\sum_{n\geq 0}D_n(x)t^n.

For k0k\geq 0, set bk(x)=xk(k+1)b_k(x)=x-k(k+1), and for k1k\geq 1 set λk(x)=k2x+(k2)(k+12)\lambda_k(x)=-k^2x+\binom{k}{2}\binom{k+1}{2}. Lando's continued-fraction conjecture. The generating function F(x,t)F(x,t) has the continued-fraction expansion

F(x,t)=11b0(x)tλ1(x)t21b1(x)tλ2(x)t2.F(x,t)=\dfrac{1}{1-b_0(x)t-\dfrac{\lambda_1(x)t^2}{1-b_1(x)t-\dfrac{\lambda_2(x)t^2}{\ddots}}}.

This is presented as a broader conjecture of which the proved congruence above is a particular case; the supplied text gives no resolution of the full continued-fraction assertion.
