Conjecture on long-period rational points in the Cantor set
Conjecture on long-period rational points in the Cantor set
Let be the Cantor set and let denote the period of the ternary expansion of the rational number . For
set
Long-period conjecture. For every , one has for all sufficiently large ; in particular,
This is presented as a stronger conjecture supporting the preceding reduction. If true, it implies the weaker assertion that there exists some finite with the complement bounded by , and hence would imply the cited zero-measure consequence for very well intrinsically approximable points.
