Asymptotic ratio conjecture for the second Sierpinski gasket monomial boundary values

Let r>0r>0, and let βj(r)\beta_j(r) denote the boundary-value sequence associated with the second family of monomials for the rr-dependent Laplacian. Let λ2(r)\lambda_2(r) and λ3(r)\lambda_3(r) be the corresponding Neumann eigenvalues.

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

limjβj+1(r)βj(r)=12λ3(r)λ2(r).\lim_{j\to\infty}\frac{\beta_{j+1}(r)}{\beta_j(r)}=\frac{-1}{2\lambda_3(r)-\lambda_2(r)}.

The claim is supported by the paper's numerical observations and by the known behavior at r=1r=1, but the text notes visible finite-jj discrepancies and does not prove the general limit. It therefore remains open.
