Periodic oscillation conjecture for combinatorial classes with evenly spaced dominant singularities
Let be a combinatorial class with generating function of radius of convergence , and suppose
Assume , and that and are analytic on the cut disk . If the only singularities on the line of convergence of the Dirichlet generating function are evenly spaced at
for some constant , then the periodic oscillation conjecture asserts that
where is a bounded function that oscillates with period . Classes with irrational object sizes can exhibit such noncontinuous periodic fluctuations, while the conjecture predicts the corresponding asymptotic form under the stated analytic and singularity hypotheses.
