The even-and-odd sequence length conjecture for xn+x+1x^n+x+1

From papers

Let A=xn+x+1A=x^n+x+1 with n4n\geq 4, and let ss be the greatest positive integer such that

n2s+10.n-2^{s+1}\geq 0.

Consider the even and odd sequences associated with AA under the binary polynomial Collatz transformations. Sequence length conjecture. Both the even and odd sequences of AA have length 2s+12^s+1. The claim is presented alongside computational data for this special family and is not established in the source.
