Nonzero limiting value conjecture for the trapping-probability solution

From papers

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

L:=limxy(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.
