Sharkovskii order for non-wandering points

Abstract: For a map

f : I i g h t a r r o w I

, a point

x i n I

is periodic with period

p i n m a t h b b N

if

f^{p} (x) = x

and

f^{j} (x) o t = x

for all

0 < j < p

. When

f

is continuous and

I

is an interval, a theorem due to Sharkovskii (cite{BC}) states that there is an order in

m a t h b b N

, say

l h d

, such that, if

f

has a periodic point of period

p

and

p l h d q

, then

f

also has a periodic point of period

q

. In this work, we will see how an extension of this order

l h d

to an ultrapower of the integer numbers yields a Sharkovskii-type result for non-wandering points of

f

.
