Growth constant for meandric systems with a component weight

Determine the growth constant g_1(q) governing the asymptotic enumeration of meandric systems weighted by q per connected component for 0\leq q\leq 2, for which the paper states a conjectural asymptotic form and leaves g_1(q) unknown.

Background

The paper studies meandric systems with a weight q assigned to each connected component. For 0\leq q\leq 2, it reports a conjectured and numerically verified asymptotic form for the coefficients m_n{(1)}(q), involving a q-dependent exponential growth constant g_1(q) and a q-dependent susceptibility exponent.

The growth constant is not given in closed form in the paper. The authors estimate it numerically from finite coefficient data, so determining g_1(q) remains an unresolved quantitative problem within this family of weighted meandric systems.
