Waring conjecture for middle-1α\frac{1}{\alpha} Cantor sets

From papers

Let α>1\alpha>1, set

r=12(11α),r=\frac12\left(1-\frac1\alpha\right),

and let CαC_\alpha be the middle-1α\frac1\alpha Cantor set. For any real number m1m\geq1, define the integer

k=(1r1)m.k=\left\lceil\left(\frac1r-1\right)^m\right\rceil.

Waring conjecture for CαC_\alpha.

[0,k]={x1m+x2m++xkm:xjCα, 1jk}.[0,k]=\left\{x_1^m+x_2^m+\cdots+x_k^m:x_j\in C_\alpha,\ 1\leq j\leq k\right\}.

This conjecture extends the paper's Waring-type representation problem from the Cantor ternary and middle-half cases to general middle-1α\frac1\alpha Cantor sets. The source does not state a resolution.
