Bajnok's limit conjecture for cyclic-group independence numbers

About 4 years old · traced to

Let t≥2t\geq 2 and let τ(Zn,t)\tau(\mathbb{Z}_n,t) denote the corresponding independence parameter for the cyclic group Zn\mathbb{Z}_n. Consider the normalized quantity

τ(Zn,t)n1/⌊t/2⌋.\frac{\tau(\mathbb{Z}_n,t)}{n^{1/\lfloor t/2\rfloor}}.

Bajnok's limit conjecture. The value of

lim⁡τ(Zn,t)n1/⌊t/2⌋\lim \frac{\tau(\mathbb{Z}_n,t)}{n^{1/\lfloor t/2\rfloor}}

exists if and only if tt is even. This concerns the asymptotic behavior of the independence parameter between the bounds established immediately beforehand; the conjecture leaves the odd values of tt unresolved.
