Full-parameter properties conjecture for the discrete p-Hardy–Rellich–Birman weight

Let N\ell\in\mathbb{N} and p>1p>1, and let ρ~(,p)\tilde{\rho}^{(\ell,p)} be the weight defined in the source by the formulas for ρ~(,p)\tilde{\rho}^{(\ell,p)} and g~(,p)\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}^{(\ell,p)}.

Full-parameter properties conjecture. The following assertions hold:

  1. ρ~(,p)\tilde{\rho}^{(\ell,p)} is an optimal discrete pp-Hardy–Rellich–Birman weight.
  2. ρ~(,p)\tilde{\rho}^{(\ell,p)} improves pointwise upon the classical pp-Birman weight.
  3. For every nn\geq\ell, ρ~n(,p)\tilde{\rho}_n^{(\ell,p)} has a power-series expansion in negative powers of nn whose coefficients are all non-negative.

These properties are known in the restricted cases =1\ell=1, p>1p>1, or N\ell\in\mathbb{N}, p=2p=2. The conjecture extends them to all N\ell\in\mathbb{N} and p>1p>1; the proof technique available in the restricted cases does not cover the full parameter range.
