Abstract: We investigate the dynamical system generated by the function lfloorlambdaxfloor defined on mathbbR and with a parameter lambdainmathbbR. For each given minmathbbN we show that there exists a region of values of lambda, where the function has exactly m fixed points (which are non-negative integers), also there is another region for lambda, where there are exactly m+1 fixed points (which are non-positive integers). Moreover the full set mathbbZ of integer numbers is the set of fixed points iff lambda=1. We show that depending on lambda and on the initial point x the limit of the forward orbit of the dynamical system may be one of the following possibilities: (i) a fixed point, (ii) a two-periodic orbit or (iii) pminfty.
