Middle-coordinate abundance conjecture for bounded ordered integer simplices

From papers

Let NN be a natural number greater than 22, let dd be a natural number strictly less than N/21N/2-1, and let nNn\geq N be another natural number. For the simplex SN(n)S^N(n) considered in the paper, compare ll-element subsets whose coordinate values in a specified position are distinct. Middle-coordinate abundance conjecture. For every sufficiently small cardinality ll, there are more ll-element subsets of SN(n)S^N(n) with distinct xd+1x_{d+1} coordinates than there are ll-element subsets with distinct xdx_d coordinates. This conjecture proposes a general form of the observed phenomenon that middle dimensions of the order simplex are more ample than its outer dimensions; the paper establishes only several specific identities and does not provide a general tool for proving the claim.
