The neighborhood-tour conjecture for ASEP vertices

From papers

Let PASEPnP_{\text{ASEP}}^{n} be the asymmetric subtour elimination polytope, let x\boldsymbol{x} be a vertex of this polytope, and let N(x)\mathcal{N}(\boldsymbol{x}) denote its neighborhood in the vertex structure considered by the paper. A tour is a Hamiltonian cycle of the complete directed graph on the node set. Neighborhood-tour conjecture. For every vertex x\boldsymbol{x}, the neighborhood N(x)\mathcal{N}(\boldsymbol{x}) contains at least one tour. This is presented as a conjecture based on preliminary computational tests; the supplied text does not establish it or indicate a resolution.
