A counterexample of an extremely chaotic function (Q1978871)

Let \(f\) be a continuous map of the unit interval \(I=[0,1]\). It is called \(d\)-chaotic if there are points \(x, y\) such that \(\limsup _{n\rightarrow \infty }|f^n(x)-f^n(y)|\geq d\) and \(\liminf _{n\rightarrow \infty }|f^n(x)-f^n(y)|=0\). The author proves that if \(f\) has a basic set with an indecomposible periodic portion of diameter \(d\), then \(f\) is \(d\)-chaotic. Consequently, he disproves a conjecture by \textit{A. M. Bruckner} and \textit{T. Hu} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 301, 289-297 (1987; Zbl 0639.26004)], that, under Continuum Hypothesis, \(f\) is 1-chaotic if and only if the second iterate \(f^2\) of \(f\) is transitive in \(I\).
