2 Function Iteration Example: Let f (x) = 4x(1 x). Then (x, f (x), f 2 (x), f 3 (x)) = (.30,,, ) 2

3 Function Iteration Example: Let f (x) = 4x(1 x). Then (x, f (x), f 2 (x), f 3 (x)) = (.30,.84,, ) 2

4 Function Iteration Example: Let f (x) = 4x(1 x). Then (x, f (x), f 2 (x), f 3 (x)) = (.30,.84,.53, ) 2

5 Function Iteration Example: Let f (x) = 4x(1 x). Then (x, f (x), f 2 (x), f 3 (x)) = (.30,.84,.53,.99) 2

6 Function Iteration Example: Let f (x) = 4x(1 x). Then (x, f (x), f 2 (x), f 3 (x)) = (.30,.84,.53,.99) and so Pat(.3, f, 4) = st(.30,.84,.53,.99) =

7 Patterns and Dynamical Systems Theorem (Bandt-Keller-Pompe): Every piecewise-monotone map f : [0, 1] [0, 1] has forbidden patterns, i.e. patterns that never arise as iterates. # Allowed patterns complexity (i.e. topological entropy) 3

8 Patterns and Dynamical Systems Theorem (Bandt-Keller-Pompe): Every piecewise-monotone map f : [0, 1] [0, 1] has forbidden patterns, i.e. patterns that never arise as iterates. # Allowed patterns complexity (i.e. topological entropy) Example: Let f (x) = 4x(1 x). 321 / Allow(f ) 4321, 1432, 54213,... / Allow(f ) }{{} contain consecutive 321 3

9 Sarkovskii s Theorem An n periodic point of a map is a point such that f n (x) = x and f i (x) x for all 1 i < n. Theorem (Sarkovskii): If a continuous map f of the unit interval has an m-periodic point and l m in the Sarkovskii ordering n 5 2 n 3 2 n then f must also have an l-periodic point. Question: Is there a similar order for the permutation structure of periodic points? 4

10 Cycle Type Let x be a periodic point of order n and Pat(x, f, n) = π. The cycle type of x is ˆπ C n where π = π 1 π 2... π n ˆπ = (π 1, π 2,..., π n ). 5

11 Cycle Type Let x be a periodic point of order n and Pat(x, f, n) = π. The cycle type of x is ˆπ C n where π = π 1 π 2... π n ˆπ = (π 1, π 2,..., π n ). Example: Consider G 2 (x) = { 2x}. 5

12 Cycle Type Let x be a periodic point of order n and Pat(x, f, n) = π. The cycle type of x is ˆπ C n where π = π 1 π 2... π n ˆπ = (π 1, π 2,..., π n ). Example: Consider G 2 (x) = { 2x}. A 3-periodic orbit of G 2 is: ( 8 (x, G 2 (x), G2 2 (x)) = 9, 2 9, 5 ) 9 Giving Pat( 8 9, G 2, 3) = 312 and ˆπ = (3, 1, 2) = 231 5
