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

From papers

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(h1,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 hdh\geq d and c(M)<ceq(M)c(M)<c_{eq}(M), then c(M)<cmon(M)c(M)<c_{mon}(M); and if hdh\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.
