Abstract

We describe the asymptotic dynamics of homeomorphisms obtained as restrictions of generic C2 endomorphisms of an interval with finitely many critical points, all of which are non-flat, and with all periodic points hyperbolic. The ω -limit set of such a restricted endomorphism cannot be infinite, except when the restriction of the endomorphism to the closure of the orbit of some critical point is a minimal homeomorphism of an infinite set.
