Divot classification for missing differences
Let be chosen uniformly at random from . Write
for the probability that the diffset has size , and call a divot when its probability is lower than the neighboring values in the distribution. For , the typical diffset size is .
Divot classification conjecture. For every , is a divot of for sufficiently large . Furthermore, these are the only divots.
The conjecture predicts the complete pattern of divots in the distribution of diffset sizes when the selected-set size is small relative to . The source gives no resolution status.
