Completeness bound for positive linear recurrence sequences with coefficients [1,1,0k,N][1,1,0^k,N]

Let (Hn)(H_n) be the positive linear recurrence sequence generated by the coefficient list [1,1,0,,0k,N][1,1,\underbrace{0,\dots,0}_{k},N]. Let f1=1f_1=1 and f2=2f_2=2, with fnf_n denoting the Fibonacci numbers, and let \lfloor\cdot\rfloor denote the floor function. Completeness bound conjecture. The sequence (Hn)(H_n) is complete if and only if

1Nfk+6k54.1\leq N\leq \left\lfloor\frac{f_{k+6}-k-5}{4}\right\rfloor.

This conjecture gives the proposed exact range of the final coefficient for completeness in this family; the necessary condition is stated to be provable, while the sufficiency is conjectural.
