Typically periodic optimization conjecture

Let (X,T)D(X,T)\in\mathfrak{D} be a suitably hyperbolic dynamical system, and let VV be a Banach space consisting of suitably regular continuous real-valued functions on XX. Define VPerV_{Per} to be the set of those fVf\in V such that the set Mmax(f)\mathcal M_{\max}(f) of maximizing measures contains at least one measure supported on a single periodic orbit.

Typically periodic optimization (TPO) conjecture. The set VPerV_{Per} contains an open dense subset of VV.

This conjecture asks whether periodic maximizing measures are typical in suitable function spaces, extending the weaker fact that typical maximizing measures are not fully supported for certain expanding or Anosov systems. The source describes the formulation as purposefully imprecise; specific versions for expanding maps and Axiom A diffeomorphisms, including smooth functions and the Lipschitz case, were previously conjectured by Yuan and Hunt.
