Abstract: We give a complete description of the behaviour of the sequence of displacements

e t a_{n} (z) = P h i^{n} (x) - P h i^{n - 1} (x) m o d 1

,

z = e x p (2 p i m i x)

, along a trajectory

v a r p h i^{n} (z)

, where

v a r p h i

is an orientation preserving circle homeomorphism and

P h i : m a t h b b R o m a t h b b R

its lift. If the rotation number

v a r r h o (v a r p h i) = f r a c p q

is rational then

e t a_{n} (z)

is asymptotically periodic with semi-period

q

. This convergence to a periodic sequence is uniform in

z

if we admit that some points are iterated backward instead of taking only forward iterations for all

z

. If

v a r r h o (v a r p h i) o t i n m a t h b b Q

then the values of

e t a_{n} (z)

are dense in a set which depends on the map

g a m m a

(semi-)conjugating

v a r p h i

with the rotation by

v a r r h o (v a r p h i)

and which is the support of the displacements distribution. We provide an effective formula for the displacement distribution if

v a r p h i

is

C^{1}

-diffeomorphism and show approximation of the displacement distribution by sample displacements measured along a trajectory of any other circle homeomorphism which is sufficiently close to the initial homeomorphism

v a r p h i

. Finally, we prove that even for the irrational rotation number

v a r r h o

the displacement sequence exhibits some regularity properties.
