The prescribed mean curvature infinitude conjecture

Let (Mn+1,g)(M^{n+1},g) be the ambient Riemannian manifold under consideration, let h∈C∞(M)h\in C^{\infty}(M), and let HYpH_{Y_p} denote the mean curvature of a hypersurface Yp⊂MY_p\subset M. Prescribed mean curvature infinitude conjecture. For any h∈C∞(M)h\in C^{\infty}(M), there exists infinitely many distinct hypersurfaces, {Yp}\{Y_p\}, with

HYp=h∣Yp.H_{Y_p}=h\big|_{Y_p}.

This proposes an analogue for constant or prescribed mean curvature of known infinitude results for embedded minimal hypersurfaces; the statement is presented as a hoped-for conjecture, and no resolution is supplied in the source.
