Dimension greater than one for the attractors of a self-affine IFS

Let 0<λ<μ<10 < \lambda < \mu < 1 with λ+μ>1\lambda + \mu > 1, and define

T0(x,y)=(λx,μy),T1(x,y)=(μx+1μ,λy+1λ).T_0(x,y)=(\lambda x,\mu y),\qquad T_1(x,y)=(\mu x+1-\mu,\lambda y+1-\lambda).

Let Aλ,μA_{\lambda,\mu} be the attractor of the iterated function system {T0,T1}\{T_0,T_1\}.

Dimension conjecture. For all 0<λ<μ<10 < \lambda < \mu < 1 with λ+μ>1\lambda + \mu > 1, the set Aλ,μA_{\lambda,\mu} has dimension strictly greater than 11.

The paper proves the claim for a range of parameters occupying 91.8% of the parameter space, while the range satisfying both this result and the top-boundary theorem occupies 91.3%. The authors note that their technique may not extend arbitrarily close to all parameters, so the assertion remains open.
