Non-D-finiteness conjecture for Models 5–16

Let G(t;a,b)G(t;a,b) denote the generating function for the corresponding model, with parameters tt, aa, and bb. A formal power series is D-finite if it satisfies a linear differential equation with polynomial coefficients. Non-D-finiteness conjecture. The generating functions G(t;a,b)G(t;a,b) for Models 5--16 are not D-finite except when b=1b=1.

D-finite solutions have been found for models with symmetry across a vertical line when b=1b=1, but solutions have not been found or guessed for other values of aa and bb.
