Polynomial solvability conjecture for the formal asymptotic expansion

From papers

Let P(t)=j=0dπjtjP(t)=\sum_{j=0}^d\pi_jt^j be a polynomial satisfying

π0=0,π1=π2,\pi_0=0,\qquad \pi_1=\pi_2,

and set p0(x)=xp_0(x)=x. Let pkp_k denote polynomials whose coefficients are determined recursively by the formal expansion referred to in the source, and let the associated differential equation be the ODE for which that expansion is constructed. Polynomial solvability conjecture. For every kN+k\in\mathbb N_+, there exist polynomials pkp_k such that the formal series satisfies the ODE. Numerical experiments and symbolic computations support polynomial solvability for the first several values of kk, but the claim for all kk remains open.
