Strong growth conjecture for Fibonacci-polynomial cycles with m = 8 + 12(61 + 64d)

About 7 years old · traced to

Let m=8+12qm=8+12q with q=61+64dq=61+64d for some nonnegative integer dd. Define the sequence {gl}l≥10\{g_l\}_{l\ge 10} as in the preceding definition, with g10g_{10} and g10′g_{10}' selected according to the parity of dd, and with each subsequent pair determined by whether {gl−1′,Fm(gl−1′)}\{g_{l-1}',F_m(g_{l-1}')\} is a length-two cycle strongly growing at level ll. Strong growth conjecture. For every l≥10l\ge 10, the Fibonacci polynomial Fm(x)F_m(x) has a cycle {gl,Fm(gl)}\{g_l,F_m(g_l)\} of length 22 that strongly grows at level ll. The authors report computational evidence for many values of ll, but the apparently random sequence prevents a proof of strong growth and the conjecture remains open.
