Boundedness conjecture for discretised rotations

Let

F:Z2Z2,(x,y)(λxy,x),F:\mathbb{Z}^2\to\mathbb{Z}^2,\qquad (x,y)\mapsto(\lfloor\lambda x\rfloor-y,x),

where λ\lambda is real and λ<2|\lambda|<2. The map is the discretisation of the linear rotation-like map (x,y)(λxy,x)(x,y)\mapsto(\lambda x-y,x), with λ=2cos(2πν)\lambda=2\cos(2\pi\nu). Boundedness conjecture. For every real λ\lambda with λ<2|\lambda|<2, all orbits of FF are periodic. This question concerns the near-integrable behaviour of discretised rotations and remains unsolved; a related general conjecture on boundedness was previously formulated for discretised Hamiltonian rotations.
