The Fibonacci-index formula conjecture for earliest progressions
The Fibonacci-index formula conjecture for earliest progressions
Let denote the Fibonacci numbers. For a positive integer difference , let be the starting position of the first monochromatic arithmetic progression of difference having maximum length. Empirical evidence suggests that

and
The formulas concern the case , where the corresponding longest-progression lengths are not eventually constant. The paper explains that this prevents the authors from checking the identities automatically with their stated method, so the conjecture remains open.
