Weak finitarity conjecture for Pisot units

From papers

Let β\beta be a Pisot unit, meaning an algebraic integer greater than 11 whose other algebraic conjugates have modulus less than 11 and whose norm is a unit. Call β\beta weakly finitary if, for every δ>0\delta>0 and every xZ[β]+x\in\mathbb{Z}[\beta]_+, there exists fFin(β)(0,δ)f\in\operatorname{Fin}(\beta)\cap(0,\delta) such that x+fFin(β)x+f\in\operatorname{Fin}(\beta), where Fin(β)\operatorname{Fin}(\beta) is the set of nonnegative real numbers having finite greedy β\beta-expansions. Weak finitarity conjecture. Every Pisot unit is weakly finitary. Weak finitarity is introduced as an arithmetic condition relevant to bijective arithmetic codings; the passage describes this conjecture as apparently very difficult and reports it as shared by most experts, with no resolution supplied.
