Factorial-plus-one bump conjecture for C(n)C(n)

About 6 years old · traced to

Define

C(n)=H(n!+1),C(n)=H(n!+1),

where HH is the function used in the paper.

The C(n)C(n) bump conjecture. There are arbitrarily large nn such that

C(n)<C(n+1).C(n)<C(n+1).

The paper presents this as an analogue of the conjecture for A(n)A(n) and notes heuristic support from prime and composite values of n!+1n!+1; it gives no resolution.
