The no-fragmentation criterion for plateaux in the expanded quantum infinite well

Let NN be the parameter appearing in the expanded quantum infinite well, let ΛQ\Lambda\in\mathbb{Q}, and assume that there is no fragmentation. A plateau is a plateau of the probability distribution studied in the paper. No-fragmentation plateau conjecture. There exists a plateau if and only if 2NΛ2N\Lambda is an odd integer. Moreover, the plateau is unique. The preceding discussion says that this is suggested by computer simulations and would cover all cases in which plateaux appear for rational Λ\Lambda; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
