Fabijonas–Olver conjecture on error terms in Airy-zero expansions

Let aka_k and bkb_k be the quantities whose asymptotic expansions are under consideration, and let the NNth error term mean the error obtained by stopping the corresponding expansion immediately before its term indexed by NN. Fabijonas–Olver conjecture. In the expansions of aka_k and bkb_k, the NNth error term is bounded in absolute value by the first neglected term and has the same sign as that term for all values of N1N\geq 1. Earlier work established this behavior for the first several error terms, while computer algebra verification supported the alternating-sign pattern through n=99n=99. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
