The speed interval: a rotation algorithm for endomorphisms of the circle
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 September 2008
Abstract
Let f be a continuous map of the circle into itself of degree one. We introduce the notion of rotation algorithms. One of these algorithms associates each z ∈ S1 with an interval, the so-called speed interval S(z, f), which is contained in the rotation interval ρ(f) of f. In contrast with the rotation set ρ(z, f), the interval S(z, f) sometimes allows us to ascertain that ρ(f) is non-degenerate, by using only finitely many elements of {fn (z) | n ≥ 0}. We further show that all choices for ρ(z, f) and S(z, f) occur, for certain z ∈ S1 provided that ρ(z, f) ⊂ S(z, f) ⊂ ρ(f).
