The incremental bound conjecture for disjoint Golomb rulers

For positive integers II and JJ, let H(I,J)H(I,J) be the least nn such that there are II disjoint Golomb rulers, each a JJ-subset of {1,2,,n}\{1,2,\ldots,n\}. Incremental bound conjecture. If I1I\geq1 and J3J\geq3, then

H(I+1,J)H(I,J)+J.H(I+1,J)\leq H(I,J)+J.

The proposed inequality would give a way to construct upper bounds for H(I,J)H(I,J) from those for smaller II; the paper does not prove it.
