Abstract: We obtain several results on the distortion asymptotics for the iterations of diffeomorphisms of the interval extending the recent work of Polterovich and Sodin.


This paper studies distortion asymptotics for iterations of diffeomorphisms which are selfmaps of the unit interval. Let \(f:[0,1] \rightarrow [0,1]\) be a \(C^N\)-diffeomorphism, \(1 \leq N \leq \infty\), such that 0 and 1 are fixed points of \(f\). The growth sequence of \(f\) is defined by \[ \Gamma_n(f) = \max \bigg( \max_ {x \in [0,1]} | (f^n)'(x)| , \max_{x \in [0,1]} | (f^{-n})'(x)| \bigg) \] for \(n \geq 1\). The limiting behavior of \(\Gamma_n(f)\) is an invariant. The authors obtain several results on the asymptotic behavior of the growth sequence and extend some results of \textit{L. Polterovich} and \textit{M. Sodin} [J. Anal. Math. 92, 191--209 (2004; Zbl 1056.37027)]. Examples are given to show the sharpness of the results. See also Section 2.6 of [\textit{Y. I.

Gromov}, [J. Differ. Geom., Suppl. 1, 19--111 (1991; Zbl 0797.53057)].
