Circular-flow threshold conjecture for two-dimensional normed flows

Let GG be a graph and let a circular (3+ϵ)(3+\epsilon)-NZF mean a circular nowhere-zero flow with parameter 3+ϵ3+\epsilon. Circular-flow threshold conjecture. For ϵ[0,1]\epsilon\in[0,1], there exist two functions ff and gg, with f(ϵ)[2,+]f(\epsilon)\in[2,+\infty] strictly increasing and g(ϵ)[1,2]g(\epsilon)\in[1,2] strictly decreasing, such that if GG admits a circular (3+ϵ)(3+\epsilon)-NZF, then

ϕ2,p(G)=2for all pf(ϵ) and for all 1pg(ϵ).\phi_{2,p}(G)=2 \quad \text{for all } p\ge f(\epsilon) \text{ and for all } 1\le p\le g(\epsilon).

This conjecture seeks parameter ranges in which a circular-flow hypothesis forces the two-dimensional pp-normed flow index to attain its minimum; no resolution is supplied.
