Conjecture on the minimum size of uniqueness sets for the Ising model

From papers

Let u(k,q)u(k,q) denote the size of the smallest set of uniqueness for the positive function class (Bqk)+\left(\mathcal{B}^{k}_{q}\right)_+. In particular, consider the case q=2q=2. Minimum-size uniqueness conjecture.

u(k,2)=k+1,u(k,2)=k+1,

i.e., for every kk there are no sets of uniqueness having at most kk elements. This conjecture concerns the exact minimum cardinality of a set of uniqueness in the q=2q=2 case; the preceding results establish corresponding bounds, while the equality asserted here remains unresolved in the supplied text.
