Positive stable crossing growth conjecture for twist families

Let {Kn}\{K_n\} be a twist family of knots with wrapping number η>1\eta>1. Define the lower stable crossing number by

cs(Kn)=limnc(Kn)n.\underline{c_s}(K_n)=\varliminf_{n\to\infty}\frac{c(K_n)}{n}.

Positive stable crossing growth conjecture.

cs(Kn)>0.\underline{c_s}(K_n)>0.

This weaker conjecture asks only for linear lower growth, rather than the exact slope predicted by the stable crossing number conjecture.
