Dynamics of piecewise increasing contractions

Abstract: Let

I_{1} = [a_{0}, a_{1}), l d o t s, I_{k} = [a_{k - 1}, a_{k})

be a partition of the interval

I = [0, 1)

into

k

subintervals. Let

f : I o I

be a map such that each restriction

f |_{I_{i}}

is an increasing Lipschitz contraction. We prove that any

f

admits at most

k

periodic orbits, where the upper bound is sharp. We are also interested in the dynamics of piecewise linear

l a m b d a

-affine maps, where

0 < l a m b d a < 1

. Let

b_{1}, l d o t s, b_{k}

be real numbers and let

F_{l} a m b d a : I o m a t h b b R

be a function such that each restriction

F_{l} a m b d a |_{I_{i}} (x) = l a m b d a x + b_{i}

. Under a generic assumption on the parameters

a_{1}, l d o t s, a_{k - 1}, b_{1}, l d o t s, b_{k}

, we prove that, up to a zero Hausdorff dimension set of slopes

l a m b d a

, the

o m e g a

-limit set of the piecewise

l a m b d a

-affine maps

f_{l} a m b d a : x i n I m a p s t o F_{l} a m b d a (x) p m o d 1

at every point equals a periodic orbit and there exist at most

k

periodic orbits. Moreover, let

m a t h f r a k E^{(k)}

be the exceptional set of parameters

l a m b d a, a_{1}, l d o t s, a_{k - 1}, b_{1}, l d o t s, b_{k}

which define non-asymptotically periodic

f

, we prove that

m a t h f r a k E^{(k)}

is a Lebesgue null measure set whose Hausdorff dimension is large or equal to

k

.
