Eventual vanishing conjecture for rational approximants

About 6 years old · traced to

Let LL be the linear functional in the preceding generalization, with integer parameters α\alpha, βi\beta_i, and γi\gamma_i, and let Pn/QnP_n/Q_n be the associated rational approximants. Eventual vanishing conjecture. If α\alpha, βi\beta_i, and γi\gamma_i are integers, then

L(1)=lim⁡n→∞Pn/Qn=0L(1)=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}P_n/Q_n=0

if and only if Pn=0P_n=0 for all sufficiently large nn. This proposes an arithmetic characterization of when the limiting value vanishes, but the supplied text gives no resolution.
