Abstract
Define if , and if . We conjecture that the orbit of every positive rational number ends in 0. In particular, there does not exist any positive rational fixed point for a map in the semigroup generated by the maps and . In this paper, we prove that the asymptotic density of the set of elements in that have rational fixed points is zero.
