Uniqueness of the fixed-point line for the SUCPA-map

Let f=[f1,,fK]:RKRK\mathbf{f}=[f_1,\ldots,f_K]:\mathbb{R}^K\to\mathbb{R}^K be the SUCPA-map. For a fixed point β\boldsymbol{\beta}^* of f\mathbf{f}, let λ=[λ,,λ]RK\boldsymbol{\lambda}=[\lambda,\ldots,\lambda]\in\mathbb{R}^K and define the straight line S(β)={β=λ+β}\mathcal{S}(\boldsymbol{\beta}^*)=\{\boldsymbol{\beta}=\boldsymbol{\lambda}+\boldsymbol{\beta}^*\}. Uniqueness conjecture for the fixed-point line. The map f\mathbf{f} has a unique straight line of fixed points of the form S(β)\mathcal{S}(\boldsymbol{\beta}^*). The translation invariance described before the conjecture shows that fixed points occur along lines in the all-ones direction. The supplied status evidence says that the case K=2K=2 is formally proven, while the general claim is supported by numerical evidence and remains unresolved.
