Infinite-dimensional limit of the finite Riccati matrix

From papers

Let ΦN(t)\Phi^N(t) be the finite-dimensional matrix-valued function defined by the Riccati system in the source, with entries ΦN,i,j(t)\Phi^{N,i,j}(t). Consider the associated functions ϕk\phi^k defined by the cited infinite-player system of ordinary differential equations. Infinite-dimensional Riccati-limit conjecture. The limit of each element in ΦN()\Phi^{N}(\cdot) exists as NN\to\infty; equivalently, ΦN(t)Φ(t)\Phi^N(t)\to\Phi^\infty(t), where Φ(t)=(Φ,i,j(t))i,jN\Phi^\infty(t)=(\Phi^{\infty,i,j}(t))_{i,j\in\mathbb N} is an infinite-dimensional lower-triangular matrix-valued function satisfying

Φ,i,j()0if i<j,\Phi^{\infty,i,j}(\cdot)\equiv 0 \quad\text{if } i<j,

and

Φ,i,j()ϕijif ij,\Phi^{\infty,i,j}(\cdot)\equiv \phi^{i-j} \quad\text{if } i\ge j,

with the functions ϕk\phi^k given by the system of ordinary differential equations cited in the source. Establishing this convergence remains an open problem.
