The sub-four-thirds exponent conjecture for Frobenius numbers

From papers

Let (a,b,c)(a,b,c) be an admissible triplet, meaning a triplet of positive integers satisfying the admissibility conditions for the three-variable Frobenius problem, and let f(a,b,c)f(a,b,c) denote its Frobenius number. Sub-four-thirds exponent conjecture. There exists an upper bound for (a,b,c)(a,b,c) proportional to

abcp\sqrt{abc}^{p}

where p<43p<\frac{4}{3}, valid for all admissible triplets (a,b,c)(a,b,c). This conjecture seeks an upper bound of smaller magnitude than the known bounds, which are comparable to one proportional to abc4/3\sqrt{abc}^{4/3}; the empirical evidence in the paper suggests the stronger exponent p=54p=\frac{5}{4} may work, but the general assertion remains unproved.
