Conjecture on convergence of approximating densities for Bernoulli convolutions

Let νβ\nu_{\beta} be the Bernoulli convolution associated with β\beta, and let fnf_n denote the sequence of approximating functions introduced in the paper. Convergence conjecture. If νβ\nu_{\beta} is singular, then

limnfn(x)=0\lim_{n\to\infty} f_n(x)=0

almost everywhere. If νβ\nu_{\beta} is absolutely continuous, then limnfn(x)\lim_{n\to\infty}f_n(x) exists almost everywhere and is equal to the density of νβ\nu_{\beta}. This asks whether absolute continuity of νβ\nu_{\beta} is characterized by almost-everywhere convergence of the approximating densities, with the singular case corresponding to convergence to zero.
