The uniform approximation conjecture for the Boţ-Nguyen coefficients

From papers

Let calpha>2calpha>2 and let cbetacbeta be the parameter defining the coefficient arrays (cn,k)(c_{n,k}) and (bn,k)(b_{n,k}). Uniform approximation conjecture. If

β=α2,\beta=\frac{\alpha}{2},

then

nmaxk{0,1,,n}cn,kbn,k0n\max_{k\in\{0,1,\ldots,n\}}|c_{n,k}-b_{n,k}|\to0

as nn\to\infty. Such an estimate would imply the Lorentz condition for (cn,k)(c_{n,k}) from the corresponding condition for (bn,k)(b_{n,k}); the supplied text does not give a proof or disproof.
