Akin and Kolyada in 2003 [E. Akin, S. Kolyada, Li–Yorke sensitivity, Nonlinearity 16 (2003), pp. 1421–1433] introduced the notion of Li–Yorke sensitivity. They proved that every weak mixing system (X, T), where X is a compact metric space and T a continuous map of X is Li–Yorke sensitive. An example of Li–Yorke sensitive system without weak mixing factors was given in [M. Čiklová, Li–Yorke sensitive minimal maps, Nonlinearity 19 (2006), pp. 517–529] (see also [M. Čiklová-Mlíchová, Li–Yorke sensitive minimal maps II, Nonlinearity 22 (2009), pp. 1569–1573]). In their paper, Akin and Kolyada conjectured that every minimal system with a weak mixing factor, is Li–Yorke sensitive. We provide arguments supporting this conjecture though the proof seems to be difficult.
