Arnold's average-density conjecture for numerical semigroups

From papers

Let dm=(d1,,dm){\bf d}^m=(d_1,\ldots,d_m) be a vector of generators, and let S(dm){\sf S}({\bf d}^m) be the associated numerical semigroup with conductor C(dm){\sf C}({\bf d}^m). Let G~(dm)\widetilde{G}({\bf d}^m) denote the number of elements of the semigroup in the segment from 00 to C(dm)1{\sf C}({\bf d}^m)-1, and define

p(dm)=G~(dm)C(dm).p({\bf d}^m)=\frac{\widetilde{G}({\bf d}^m)}{{\sf C}({\bf d}^m)}.

Arnold's average-density conjecture. For large dm{\bf d}^m, with overwhelming probability, this fraction is asymptotically 1/m1/m; equivalently,

G~(dm)asymptotically weak1mC(dm).\widetilde{G}({\bf d}^m)\stackrel{\mathrm{asymptotically\ weak}}{\equiv}\frac{1}{m}{\sf C}({\bf d}^m).

This is Arnold's Conjecture #1999–9 concerning the average distribution of a numerical semigroup below its conductor. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
