The disjoint zero-block conjecture for the floor-function differences
The disjoint zero-block conjecture for the floor-function differences
Let be an odd integer, and define
Suppose that for some . Disjoint zero-block conjecture. Each such corresponds to consecutive integers such that
and the sets of these zero values are disjoint. The statement describes the observed relationship between values of the floor-function differences: a value at least is paired with a consecutive block of zero values, with different blocks disjoint. The supplied text does not state whether this claim has been proved or remains open.
