The existence conjecture for maximal obstructions on short intervals

At least 20 years old · documented by

Let II be an interval. Maximal obstruction existence conjecture. Every interval of length less than 44 has a maximal obstruction.

The paper proves existence when the interval has no integer in its interior and proposes the stronger statement for all intervals of length less than 44; the supplied text gives no resolution.
