Catalan-number conjecture for 2-adic orders with two binary digits

About 4 years old · traced to

Let d2(k)d_2(k) be the sum of the binary digits of kk, and let C1,nC_{1,n} be the nnth positive Catalan number other than C0C_0 having 2-adic order 11. Suppose that kk is the nnth positive integer with d2(k)=2d_2(k)=2, m=4jm=4j for j=1,2,…j=1,2,\ldots, a=ord⁡2(m)a=\operatorname{ord}_2(m), and o=ord⁡2(AK‾,k,m(0))o=\operatorname{ord}_2(A_{\overline{\mathcal K},k,m}(0)). Define

t=(a+6)k+2−o4.t=\frac{(a+6)k+2-o}{4}.

Catalan valuation conjecture. Then t=C1,nt=C_{1,n}. The source presents this as an observed pattern in its empirical study of constant-term valuations; no resolution is given.
