Conjectures on the frequency and sign distribution of extreme values

About 2 years old · traced to

Let TT be a height parameter, and let the two functions discussed in the source have extreme values indexed by integers nn. Consider the extreme values up to height TT, and the sets of indices for which these functions are respectively positive or negative.

Conjectures on extreme values. One may conjecture that the number of extreme values up to height TT is less than Clog⁡TC\log T for some constant CC, and that the sets of indices nn for which the respective functions are positive or negative have natural density zero.

These are presented as possible conjectures of different strengths based on numerical data in a table. The supplied context does not specify the functions or define the extreme-value indexing sufficiently to assess the claims more precisely, and no resolution status is given; they remain open.
