Higher-order modified Alder conjecture for a=3

From papers

Let qd(a)(n)q_d^{(a)}(n) count partitions of nn into parts at least aa whose parts differ by at least dd. For 1bd+21\leq b\leq d+2, let Qd(b,)(n)Q_d^{(b,-)}(n) count partitions of nn into parts congruent to ±b\pm b modulo d+3d+3, excluding the part d+3bd+3-b, and define

Δd(a,b,)(n):=qd(a)(n)Qd(b,)(n),Δd(a,)(n):=Δd(a,a,)(n).\Delta_d^{(a,b,-)}(n):=q_d^{(a)}(n)-Q_d^{(b,-)}(n),\qquad \Delta_d^{(a,-)}(n):=\Delta_d^{(a,a,-)}(n).

Higher-order modified Alder conjecture. For all d,n1d,n\geq 1,

Δd(3,)(n)0.\Delta_d^{(3,-)}(n)\geq 0.

This is proposed as a generalization of Kang and Park's modified Alder conjecture to higher equal values of a=ba=b. The source gives no proof or counterexample, so the assertion remains open.
