Herzog–Hibi conjecture on depth functions of powers of homogeneous ideals

Let SS be a standard graded algebra over a field kk. For a homogeneous ideal QSQ\subseteq S, its depth function is the function ndepthS/Qnn\mapsto\operatorname{depth} S/Q^n for n1n\geq 1. Herzog–Hibi conjecture. Let f:NZ0f:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0} be any function such that f(n)=f(n+1)f(n)=f(n+1) for all n0n\gg 0. Then there exists a homogeneous ideal QQ in a polynomial ring SS such that ff is the depth function of QQ. The conjecture is settled affirmatively in the source paper, which constructs such an ideal for every eventually constant function ff; thus the claim is no longer open.
