Factored square-biroot identity at one

From papers

For a positive expansion parameter cc, let βm2(1,c)\beta_m^2(1,c) denote the factored square biroot evaluated at 11. Factored square-biroot identity. The value is

βm2(1,c)=(c+1)m+(c1)m(c+1)m(c1)m.\beta_m^2(1,c)=\frac{(c+1)^m+(c-1)^m}{(c+1)^m-(c-1)^m}.

The source presents this as an interesting but unproved observation that may help analyze the error at 11 as the expansion parameter increases in the square-root case. It is therefore a speculative auxiliary conjecture rather than one of the paper’s main convergence results.
