Eventual three-term representations by generalized pentagonal numbers

Let pm(x)p_m(x) and pˉm(x)\bar p_m(x) denote the generalized polygonal-number functions used in the paper, and let N\mathbb N denote the nonnegative integers. Eventual representation conjecture. The following four inclusions hold:

{p5(x)+p5(y)+p5(z):x,y,zN}{nN:n>33066},\{p_5(x)+p_5(y)+p_5(z):x,y,z\in\mathbb N\}\supseteq\{n\in\mathbb N:n>33066\}, {pˉ5(x)+pˉ5(y)+pˉ5(z):x,y,zN}{nN:n>24036},\{\bar p_5(x)+\bar p_5(y)+\bar p_5(z):x,y,z\in\mathbb N\}\supseteq\{n\in\mathbb N:n>24036\}, {p6(x)+p6(y)+p6(z):x,y,zN}{nN:n>146858},\{p_6(x)+p_6(y)+p_6(z):x,y,z\in\mathbb N\}\supseteq\{n\in\mathbb N:n>146858\}, {pˉ6(x)+pˉ6(y)+pˉ6(z):x,y,zN}{nN:n>138158}.\{\bar p_6(x)+\bar p_6(y)+\bar p_6(z):x,y,z\in\mathbb N\}\supseteq\{n\in\mathbb N:n>138158\}.

These conjectures assert explicit eventual universality for four ternary sums of generalized polygonal numbers. The notation pmp_m and pˉm\bar p_m is not defined in the supplied context, and no proof or resolution is given.
