Boshernitzan–Kornfeld conjecture on the prevalence of finite type interval translation maps
Let , and let denote the space of interval translation maps on intervals. An interval translation map is of infinite type when, for its attractor construction , one has for every . Boshernitzan–Kornfeld conjecture. For all , the set of all infinite type s on intervals is a measure zero subset of . The conjecture asserts that infinite type behavior is rare among interval translation maps; equivalently, finite type should be prevalent in measure for every number of intervals. The source gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
