The (Qn)(Q_n) conjecture on comonotone jet interpolation

From papers

For real numbers c<dc<d and s{1,1}s\in\{1,-1\}, let Vns[c,d]V_n^s[c,d] be the set of endpoint jets arising from functions in Fns[c,d]\mathscr{F}_n^s[c,d], and let Vns,[c,d]V_n^{s,\infty}[c,d] be the corresponding set allowing all derivative orders. The statement (Qn)(Q_n) is that, for every nn, these sets agree and Vns[c,d]V_n^s[c,d] is open in R2(n+1)\mathbb{R}^{2(n+1)}.

(Qn)(Q_n) conjecture. (Qn)(Q_n) is true for all nonnegative integers nn.

This asserts both finite-order comonotone interpolation and the openness of the resulting endpoint-jet cone. The supplied text does not indicate whether the statement has been proved or disproved.
