A characterization of unimodal maps with embedded adding machines (Q2222128)

The paper can be viewed as a continuation of the author's previous work [Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 33, No. 8, 3277--3287 (2013; Zbl 1280.54022)], where she characterized unimodal maps \(f\) having an embedded adding machine (that is, the restriction of \(f\) to the omega limit set of the turning point \(c\) is topologically conjugate to an adding machine) as those unimodal maps whose kneading sequence \(\mathcal{K}(f)\) is a non-periodic Toeplitz sequence with the finite time containment property (too involved to be described here in a few lines). Now, the author provides a new (constructive) characterization by making use of the concept of \(\{0,1\}\)-regular schemes, introduced by the author in [Fund. Math. 231, No. 3, 273--284 (2015; Zbl 1356.37025)], and adding an extra condition equivalent to the finite time containment property. Moreover, this construction allows the author to decide, in terms of the cardinality of the sets appearing in the \(\{0,1\}\)-regular scheme, whether \(f\) is or not (infinitely) renormalizable. The paper concludes with three tangible examples of unimodal maps with (without) embedded adding machines: in the first one, the map \(f\) admits an embedded adding machine, but it is non-renormalizable; the second has also an embedded adding machine, being infinitely renormalizabe; and the third one does not have an embedded adding machine, even though the turning point \(c\) is regularly recurrent.
