The fixed denominator conjecture for Markov numbers

From papers

Let mp/qm_{p/q} denote the Markov number indexed by a reduced rational number p/qp/q with 0<p<q0<p<q. Fixed denominator conjecture. For positive integers p,q,ip,q,i such that p+i<qp+i<q, gcd(q,p)=1\gcd(q,p)=1, and gcd(q,p+i)=1\gcd(q,p+i)=1, one has

mp/q<m(p+i)/q.m_{p/q}<m_{(p+i)/q}.

This conjecture orders Markov numbers with the same denominator by increasing numerator; it is presented alongside the fixed numerator conjecture as a main topic of the paper, and its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
