Characterization conjecture for equality in the bound on g(n)
Let be the quantity associated with corresponding sequences, and suppose the established upper bound is .
Equality characterization conjecture. The upper bound is attained,
if and only if is prime or .
The conjecture follows results showing that the bound is sharp, and proposes that equality occurs only for prime inputs and the exceptional value .
