The conjecture that two lower-bounded Lüroth sets contain an interval

For kN{1}k\in\mathbb{N}\setminus\{1\}, let LkL_{\geq k} be the Lüroth set whose digits are all at least kk. For subsets of R\mathbb{R}, write A+B={a+b:aA,bB}A+B=\{a+b:a\in A,b\in B\}. The interval conjecture for lower-bounded Lüroth sets. For every kN{1}k\in\mathbb{N}\setminus\{1\}, the sumset Lk+LkL_{\geq k}+L_{\geq k} contains an interval of positive length in R\mathbb{R}.

This is proposed as an analogue of Shulga's result after the paper proves that the same sumset has Hausdorff dimension 11. The source presents the interval-containment assertion as a conjecture, and no resolution is supplied.
