Berkovich–Uncu's corrected nonnegativity conjecture for GL,2(q)G_{L,2}(q)

About 6 years old · traced to

For a positive integer LL, let GL,2(q)G_{L,2}(q) be the difference of the generating series for partitions with smallest part 22 and largest-minus-smallest part at most LL, and for partitions with smallest part at least 33 and largest-minus-smallest part at most LL. Write S⪰0S\succeq 0 when every coefficient of the series SS is nonnegative. Berkovich and Uncu's conjecture.

L=3  ⟹  GL,2(q)+q3+q9+q15⪰0;L=3\implies G_{L,2}(q)+q^3+q^9+q^{15}\succeq 0; L=4  ⟹  GL,2(q)+q3+q9⪰0;L=4\implies G_{L,2}(q)+q^3+q^9\succeq 0; L≥5  ⟹  GL,2(q)+q3⪰0.L\geq 5\implies G_{L,2}(q)+q^3\succeq 0.

The source explicitly says that it proves this conjecture in the paper, so the claim is solved.
