The sharp Hermite-ratio upper-bound conjecture

Let hn(x)h_n(x) and Fn(x)=hn(x)/hn+1(x)F_n(x)=h_n(x)/h_{n+1}(x) be the ratios considered above, and let gα,β(x)g_{\alpha,\beta}(x) denote the comparison function introduced in the paper. Hermite-ratio upper-bound conjecture.

Fn(x)<g12,12(x)F_n(x)<g_{-\frac12,\frac12}(x)

for all real xx and n>12n>\frac12. This conjecture proposes the comparison function with parameters α=12\alpha=-\frac12 and β=12\beta=\frac12, which has the exact limiting values of Fn(x)F_n(x) as x±x\to\pm\infty; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
