Authored summary

OPEN as checked on 2026-08-01. Strongest checked neighboring result: The maintained survey records \(0\) and \(\infty\) as limit points, arbitrarily large finite limit points, an interval \([0,c]\), positive density of the limit set, and bounded gaps in that set. Exact unresolved remainder: It is unknown whether every finite \(C\ge0\) is a limit point.

The record cites sources for its explanation.

2Authored explanation

The problem was checked as open on 2026-08-01.

The strongest neighboring result found in the cited sources is: The maintained survey records \(0\) and \(\infty\) as limit points, arbitrarily large finite limit points, an interval \([0,c]\), positive density of the limit set, and bounded gaps in that set.

The exact unresolved remainder is: It is unknown whether every finite \(C\ge0\) is a limit point.

A complete resolution must meet the following acceptance conditions: - For a proof, construct or establish a convergent subsequence for every \(C\ge0\). - For a disproof, exhibit a specific \(C\ge0\) and prove that no normalized-gap subsequence converges to it.
