Asymptotic parameter limits in the Eden model for pentagons

From papers

Let nn be the number of pentagons in the model, and let V(n)V(n), E(n)E(n), and H(n)H(n) denote the numbers of vertices, edges, and holes, respectively. The expectation is taken over the randomness of the Eden growth process. Asymptotic parameter conjecture. The expected values satisfy

limnE[V(n)]n2.68,limnE[E(n)]n4.02,limnE[H(n)]n0.34.\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\mathbb{E}[V(n)]}{n}\approx 2.68,\qquad \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\mathbb{E}[E(n)]}{n}\approx 4.02,\qquad \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\mathbb{E}[H(n)]}{n}\approx 0.34.

These conjectured limits are supported by numerical simulations. Euler's formula in this setting, VE+n+H=1V-E+n+H=1, relates the three quantities, but the source gives no proof of the stated asymptotic values.
