The counterexample conjecture for symbolic-power asymptotic regularity

From papers

Let R=k[x,y,a,b]R={\Bbbk}[x,y,a,b] be the polynomial ring from the preceding construction, let S=R[z]S=R[z], and set I=Q(f,z)SI=Q\cap(f,z)\subseteq S. The source specifies that Ass(I)=Min(I)\operatorname{Ass}(I)=\operatorname{Min}(I), so the symbolic powers I(n)I^{(n)} may be defined using either associated or minimal primes. Counterexample conjecture. The limit

limnregI(n)n\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\operatorname{reg} I^{(n)}}{n}

does not exist. This would provide a counterexample to the open question of Herzog, Hoa and Trung; the source notes that the proposed lower-bound behavior is known along the sequence n=32sn=3\cdot2^s, while the complementary upper-bound inequality remains open.
