Nonzero limiting value conjecture for the trapping-probability solution

About 3 years old · traced to

Let y(x)=yj(x−x∗)y(x)=y_j(x-x^*) for x−x∗∈Ijx-x^*\in I_j, where yjy_j and IjI_j are as in Theorem 4.1a, and let

L:=lim⁡x→∞y(x).L:=\lim_{x\to\infty}y(x).

Nonzero-limit conjecture. The limit LL exists and is different from zero.

This claim is posed to establish the required upper-boundary behavior for the trapping probability in the uniformly distributed proportional-loss model. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
