Pham's duality conjecture for Bulgarian Solitaire orbit-growth constants
Let be a primitive necklace, let be its dual necklace, and let and denote the integers whose existence is asserted by the orbit-size growth conjecture when they exist.
Pham's duality conjecture. For any primitive necklace such that and both exist,
This predicts that dual primitive necklaces have the same orbit-growth constant. The supplied text gives special examples but no general proof or disproof, so the conjecture remains open.
