Sublinear fluctuations conjecture for the perturbed Hofstadter recursion

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let E(n)E(n) denote the fluctuation term in the decomposition of Q(n)Q(n) into its main term and fluctuation. Sublinear fluctuations conjecture. The fluctuation term satisfies

E(n)=o(n).E(n)=o(n).

This is presented as an open problem; more precise bounds on the growth of E(n)E(n) remain unknown.
