Markov numbers are a classical topic i n number theory related to many areas of mathematics such as combinatorics and cluster algebras. Markov numbers are related to cluster algebras by M arkov snake graphs\, where a Markov snake graph is the snake graph of a cl uster variable of the once punctured torus. The number of perfect matching s of a Markov snake graph\, given by the numerator of the associated conti nued fraction\, is a Markov number. In this talk\, we discuss three conjec tures given in Martin Aigner’s book [A] that provide an ordering on the Ma rkov numbers $m_{p/q}$ for a fixed numerator $p$\, fixed denominator $q$ a nd a fixed sum $p+q$.
