Asymptotic distribution conjecture for the floor-function sum

About 1 year old · traced to

Let f(n)f(n) denote the sum defined earlier in the paper. The limiting-values conjecture. As n→∞n\to\infty,

lim⁡n→∞f(4n)4n=18,\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{f(4n)}{4n}=\frac18, lim⁡n→∞f(4n+1)4n+1=0,\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{f(4n+1)}{4n+1}=0, lim⁡n→∞f(4n+2)4n+2=−18,\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{f(4n+2)}{4n+2}=-\frac18, lim⁡n→∞f(4n+2)4n+3=−14.\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{f(4n+2)}{4n+3}=-\frac14.

The paper motivates these limits through numerical plots and says they are supported by a mixture of proven and conjectured identities, but does not prove the limits themselves.
