A fully supported local information maximum on the full two-shift

About 11 years old · traced to

Let (X,T)(X,T) be the full two-shift, let α\alpha be the partition used to define information, and consider the space of one-step Markov measures on XX. A measure is fully supported when every allowed cylinder has positive measure, and a local maximum is understood relative to this space. Fully supported local-maximum conjecture. There is a fully supported one-step Markov measure that is a local maximum of Int⁡μ(X,T,α)\operatorname{Int}_\mu(X,T,\alpha) among all one-step Markov measures. The assertion is suggested by numerical computations in the source; no proof or resolution is supplied.
