The polygonal formulas for Delta three and Delta four

From papers

For k1k\geq1, let Δk(ε)\Delta_k(\varepsilon) denote the function studied in the paper, with 0ε10\leq\varepsilon\leq1. Delta three and Delta four polygonal conjecture. The graph of Δ3(ε)\Delta_3(\varepsilon) is the polygonal path connecting

(0,0),(47,27),(711,411),(57,37),(1,1),(0,0),\left(\frac47,\frac27\right),\left(\frac7{11},\frac4{11}\right),\left(\frac57,\frac37\right),(1,1),

and the graph of Δ4(ε)\Delta_4(\varepsilon) is the polygonal path connecting

(0,0),(512,16),(919,419),(12,29),(23,1027),(1724,512),(1,1).(0,0),\left(\frac5{12},\frac16\right),\left(\frac9{19},\frac4{19}\right),\left(\frac12,\frac29\right),\left(\frac23,\frac{10}{27}\right),\left(\frac{17}{24},\frac5{12}\right),(1,1).

The authors report computational evidence that these are upper bounds for the corresponding graphs, but have not verified that the bounds are sharp.
