Kolyada–Misiurewicz–Snoha conjecture on closed special alpha-limit sets

Let f:[0,1][0,1]f:[0,1]\to[0,1] be continuous. A special α\alpha-limit set sα(x)s\alpha(x) is the union of the accumulation-point sets of all backward orbit branches of xx. Kolyada–Misiurewicz–Snoha's conjecture. Every special α\alpha-limit set of ff is closed. The paper disproves this conjecture by constructing an interval map with a non-closed special α\alpha-limit set.
