Kano's orthogonal-curve mass bisection conjecture

About 6 years old · traced to

Let mm be a positive integer, and let μ1,…,μm\mu_1,\dots,\mu_m be absolutely continuous measures in \mathdsR2\mathds{R}^2.

Kano's conjecture. There exists a curve in \mathdsR2\mathds{R}^2 formed by horizontal and vertical segments, with at most m−1m-1 turns, that bisects every measure.

This is an orthogonal-curve analogue of simultaneous bisection by a polynomial graph. The source attributes the conjecture to Mikio Kano and explicitly states that it remains open.
