Q. Tang, Y. Liu, and W. Wang's positive pp-energy conjecture

Let nn and pp be positive integers with p2p\geq 2, let GG be a connected graph on nn vertices, and let PnP_n denote the path on nn vertices. Tang–Liu–Wang's positive pp-energy conjecture.

Ep+(G)Ep+(Pn).\mathcal{E}_p^+(G)\geq \mathcal{E}_p^+(P_n).

The conjecture is presented as a natural generalization of the square-energy conjecture; the source does not state a resolution.
