Partial arithmetic-periodicity conjecture for Family B cut games

From papers

Let XX be a non-empty set of even numbers, each at least 44, and let YY be a non-empty set of odd numbers, each at least 55. Let xx and yy be the smallest elements of XX and YY, respectively. Family B consists of cut sets

C={1}XY.\mathcal{C}=\{1\}\cup X\cup Y.

Family B partial conjecture. If 3x<y3x<y, then

GC(n)=G{1,x}(n)\mathcal{G}_{\mathcal{C}}(n)=\mathcal{G}_{\{1,x\}}(n)

for n1n\geq 1. The paper presents this as a partial extension of the known result for two-element cut sets and notes that no full conjecture is available for Family B; proving arithmetic periodicity for Families A and B would imply Conjecture 1 of the cited prior work.
