Nonvanishing normal derivative conjecture for Green potentials on the Sierpinski gasket

From papers

For each integer t0t\geq 0, let pt,1p_{t,1} be the relevant monomial on the Sierpinski gasket, let G(x,y)G(x,y) be the Green function, and define

ft+1,1(x):=SGG(x,y)pt,1(y)dy.f_{t+1,1}(x):=-\int_{SG}G(x,y)p_{t,1}(y)\,dy.

Here n\partial_n denotes the normal derivative at the boundary point q0q_0.

Nonvanishing normal derivative conjecture. For every integer t0t\geq 0,

nft+1,1(q0)0.\partial_n f_{t+1,1}(q_0)\neq 0.

This conjecture is needed to extend results established for the cases k=2,3k=2,3 to the family with k=1k=1 of Sobolev orthogonal polynomials on the Sierpinski gasket. The source does not provide evidence that the claim has been resolved.
