Asymptotic existence conjecture for -necklaces
Let and be positive coprime integers. An -necklace is the combinatorial object considered in the paper, with length denoted by . Asymptotic existence conjecture. There is a positive integer such that an -necklace of every length exists when is even, and an -necklace of every even length exists when is odd. The conjecture removes the sufficient restriction from the preceding existence theorem; numerical computations support it, but the general assertion remains open.
