Robertson–Myers conjecture for the Rado number of x+y+kz=ℓw

Let cellcell and kk be positive integers satisfying

2,k+2.\ell\geq 2,\qquad k\geq \ell+2.

For the 2-color Rado number RR(x+y+kz=w)\operatorname{RR}(x+y+kz=\ell w), Robertson–Myers conjecture. for fixed \ell,

RR(x+y+kz=w)=k++12+O(k2).\operatorname{RR}(x+y+kz=\ell w)=\left\lfloor \frac{k+\ell+1}{\ell}\right\rfloor^2+O\left(\frac{k}{\ell^2}\right).

This conjecture was proposed by Robertson and Myers for the case m=4m=4. Saracino and Wynne showed that it is partially false when =3\ell=3, while determining the exact 2-color Rado number in that case.
