Computing periods of powers

From MaRDI portal





Given a continuous map \(f\) of the interval or of the circle, with a known set \(\mathrm{Per}(f)\) of minimal periods, the authors determine the set of minimal periods of an arbitrary iterate \(f^p\) of the map. More precisely, using a result from [\textit{L. Alsedà}, \textit{J. Llibre} and \textit{M. Misiurewicz}, Combinatorial dynamics and entropy in dimension one. Singapore: World Scientific (2000; Zbl 0963.37001)] it is proved that NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\mathrm{Per}(f^p) = \left\{\frac{k}{\mathrm{gcd}(k,p)}: k\in \mathrm{Per}(f)\right\}.NEWLINE\]
