The asymptotic expansion conjecture for zeros of d2(B)d_2(B) in Heun equations

From papers

Let d2(B)d_2(B) be the function associated with the Heun equation, the confluent Heun equation, and the reduced confluent Heun equation, and let DkD_k and Dk[j],(k+j+1)D_k^{[j],(k+j+1)} denote the coefficients defined by the corresponding expansions of the zeros of cm+1(B)c_{m+1}(B), for k=0,1,2,k=0,1,2,\dots. Zero-expansion conjecture. The zeros of d2(B)d_2(B) have the expansions

Dkj=1Dk[j],(k+j+1)sj-D_k-\sum_{j=1}^{\infty}D_k^{[j],(k+j+1)}s^j

for k=0,1,2,k=0,1,2,\dots. This conjecture predicts that the zeros of d2(B)d_2(B) share the limiting formal expansions obtained from the zeros of cm+1(B)c_{m+1}(B) as the degree parameter becomes large, simultaneously for the Heun, confluent Heun, and reduced confluent Heun equations.
