Singh–Barman's hook bias conjecture for 3-regular partitions

From papers

Let bt,i(n)b_{t,i}(n) denote the number of hooks of length ii in all tt-regular partitions of nn. Singh–Barman's conjecture. For all n28n\ge 28, b3,2(n)b3,1(n)b_{3,2}(n)\ge b_{3,1}(n).

This conjecture concerns the bias between hooks of lengths two and one in 3-regular partitions. The paper states that its first main result confirms the conjecture, so it is solved.
