Q: A chaotic function related to the $3x+1$ problem? (Li-Yorke and the Collatz problem)

Let $ x $ be an infinite binary string. Define the function $ f(x) $ mapping $ x $ to the Cantor set of $ I = [0,1] $ as: $$ f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2 x_n}{3^{n+1}} $$ where $ x_n $ are the bits of $ x $. Define the function $ g(x) $ over the interval $ I $ as: $$ g(x) = \min_{n \in \mat...
