Conjecture on monotone catenary degree for generalized arithmetic monoids with gcd one

About 7 years old · traced to

Let MM be the generalized arithmetic monoid under consideration, with parameters hh and dd, and let c(M)c(M), cmon(M)c_{mon}(M), and ceq(M)c_{eq}(M) denote its regular, monotone, and equivalent catenary degrees. The gcd-one case conjecture. If

gcd⁡(h−1,d)=1,\gcd(h-1,d)=1,

then the following cases hold: if h<dh<d, then c(M)<cmon(M)c(M)<c_{mon}(M); if h≥dh\geq d and c(M)<ceq(M)c(M)<c_{eq}(M), then c(M)<cmon(M)c(M)<c_{mon}(M); and if h≥dh\geq d and c(M)=ceq(M)c(M)=c_{eq}(M), then c(M)=cmon(M)c(M)=c_{mon}(M). These conjectures aim to characterize the monotone catenary degree according to the gcd and the equivalent catenary degree; the source provides no resolution, so this assertion remains open.
