Conjectured period-five sign patterns for coefficients of Rogers-Ramanujan products
Let denote the Rogers–Ramanujan continued fraction, and define integer sequences , , and by
Conjectured sign pattern. For all integers ,
An affirmative answer, together with the stated sign-pattern theorems for the other residue classes, would prove that the signs of , , and are periodic with period . The conjecture is based on numerical observation, and its status is unresolved in the supplied text.
