Abstract
Folsom, Males, Rolen, and Storzer recently proved Andrews' Conjecture~4 for the coefficients of They also proved a refined density-one version of Andrews' Conjecture~3. In this paper we prove Andrews' Conjectures~5 and~6. Our proof relies on an investigation of the simple zeros of the trigonometric factor in the Folsom--Males--Rolen--Storzer asymptotic and showing that the relevant quadratic sequence stays a positive distance from the integers infinitely often. The argument is unconditional.
