Asymptotic ratio conjecture for the first Sierpinski gasket monomial boundary values

Let r>0r>0, and let Pj,1(r)P_{j,1}^{(r)} and Pj,2(r)P_{j,2}^{(r)} be the first two families of monomials associated with the rr-dependent Laplacian. Write their relevant boundary values as αj(r)\alpha_j(r) and βj(r)\beta_j(r), respectively, and let λ2(r)\lambda_2(r) and λ3(r)\lambda_3(r) denote the corresponding Neumann eigenvalues.

The asymptotic ratio conjecture. For r1r\neq 1 and r1734r\neq \frac{\sqrt{17}-3}{4},

limjαj+1(r)αj(r)=12λ3(r)λ2(r).\lim_{j\to\infty}\frac{\alpha_{j+1}(r)}{\alpha_j(r)}=\frac{-1}{2\lambda_3(r)-\lambda_2(r)}.

This predicts the exponential decay ratio of the first boundary-value sequence and is motivated by the numerical data on monomials and the spectrum of the rr-dependent Laplacian. The source does not establish the limit, so its resolution remains open.
