Register shifts versus transitive \(F\)-cycles for piecewise monotone maps. (English) Zbl 0849.26002

The family of continuous piecewise monotonic selfmappings of a real compact interval is considered. It is shown that if the mapping has a derivative on any subinterval of monotonicity bigger than some number greater than one, then the “typical” point is attracted by a periodic interval in which some orbit is dense (transitive \(f\)-cycle). Contrary to this, for a “typical” function from the space of piecewise monotonic functions with derivatives greater or equal to one a “typical” point is attracted by a register shift, i.e., has an asymptotic behavior similar to periodic one.
