Asymptotic growth conjecture for knotoid diagrams

About 8 years old · traced to

Let sκns\kappa_n be the number of nn-crossing knotoid diagrams, let sknsk_n be the number of nn-crossing knotoid shadows, and let μK\mu_K be the knotoid-shadow connective constant. Knotoid asymptotic-growth conjecture. There are constants c′c' and γ′\gamma' such that

sκn2n=skn∼n→∞c′μKn⋅nγ′−1,\frac{s\kappa_n}{2^n}=sk_n\mathop{\sim}_{n\to\infty}c'\mu_K^n\cdot n^{\gamma'-1},

with the additional belief that γ′=γ\gamma'=\gamma. This refines the exponential-growth assertion by predicting a power-law correction; the asymptotic form and the equality of exponents remain conjectural.
