Positive-density conjecture for words avoiding forbidden signatures

About 6 years old · traced to

Let ω=(ω0,ω1,…,ωk)∉F\pmb{\omega}=(\omega_0,\omega_1,\ldots,\omega_k)\notin\mathcal{F} be a finite-length word that contains no τ∈F\pmb{\tau}\in\mathcal{F} as a subsequence of consecutive symbols. Positive-density conjecture. The limit

lim⁡n→∞∣{M≤n:  ∥M−j∥∞=ωj for j=0,1,…,k}∣n\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\left|\left\{M\leq n:\;\|M-j\|_\infty=\omega_j\text{ for }j=0,1,\ldots,k\right\}\right|}{n}

exists and is strictly positive. This is the formal version of the paper’s stronger density claim for admissible words. Its status is not resolved in the supplied material.
