This paper is a survey about pseudoperiodic mappings. A mapping \(H:{\mathbb R}^m\to {\mathbb R}^n\) is said to be pseudoperiodic if it can be presented as the sum of a periodic and a linear mapping. Here we find results and proofs concerning topological and ergodic properties of pseudoperiodic mappings from \({\mathbb R}^n\) to \({\mathbb R}^{n-1}\) and from \({\mathbb R}^n\) to \({\mathbb R}^1\). In the first case, given a pseudoperiodic mapping \(H:{\mathbb R}^n\to {\mathbb R}^{n-1}\), it is possible to associate a polyintegrable flow on \({\mathbb R}^n\) [in the sense of \textit{V. I. Arnold}, St. Petersbg. Math. J. 4, No. 6, 1103-1110 (1993; Zbl 0824.58020)], so that its trajectories are contained in the level curves of \(H\). On the other hand, the study of pseudoperiodic functions \({\mathbb R}^n\to {\mathbb R}^{1}\) is related to the study of closed 1-forms with incommensurable periods [see \textit{V. I. Arnold}, Funct. Anal. Appl. 25, No. 2, 81-90 (1991; Zbl 0732.58001)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0931.00017].
