The limiting alternative-measure conjecture for Pm,1(x)P_{m,1}(x)

Let Pm,1(x)P_{m,1}(x) be the polynomial family defined earlier in the paper, and let LC(Pm,1(x))LC(P_{m,1}(x)) denote its limit ratio. Corollary CorSeq\mathrm{CorSeq} bounds every adherent point AA of the sequence by

2π2A23π.\frac{2}{\pi^2}\leq A\leq\frac{2}{3\pi}.

Limiting alternative-measure conjecture. The sequence has a limit, and

limmLC(Pm,1(x))0.209.\lim_{m\to\infty}LC(P_{m,1}(x))\approx 0.209.

The stated value lies between the lower and upper limiting bounds from the preceding corollary, but the candidate supplies numerical evidence rather than a proof.
