Conjecture that every region in the fixed-multiplicity algorithm is empty

At least 6 years old · documented by

Let m≥3m\geq 3 and consider the regions arising in Algorithm~ for testing numerical semigroups of multiplicity mm. Empty-region conjecture. For each m≥3m\geq 3, every region considered in Algorithm~ is empty.

The conjecture would imply Wilf's conjecture for numerical semigroups. The algorithm has been verified computationally through m≤18m\leq 18, and the source notes that the regions tested for m≤87m\leq 87 are in fact empty; the general assertion remains open.
