Bras-Amorós's ordinarization-number monotonicity conjecture

Let ng,rn_{g,r} denote the number of numerical semigroups of genus gg with ordinarization number rr, where the ordinarization number is the length of the path from the semigroup to the ordinary semigroup in the ordinarization tree. Bras-Amorós's ordinarization-number conjecture. For all r,g1r,g \ge 1 we have

ng,rng+1,r.n_{g,r} \le n_{g+1,r}.

This conjecture concerns the distribution of numerical semigroups by ordinarization number and is presented as a partial motivation for the paper. The source provides no evidence of a resolution.
