Conjecture on the optimal bound for primitive pairs of type
Let be the set of prime powers for which every rational function in admits a primitive pair with , and let be the least threshold such that all prime powers belong to . For functions with and , the conjecture is that and that the prime powers not in are exactly those listed in Case 1. This proposes that the computationally identified exceptions are complete and that is the optimal bound.
