Abstract

Let f:[0,1)[0,1)f : [0,1)\rightarrow [0,1) be a 22-interval piecewise affine increasing map which is injective but not surjective. Such a map ff has a rotation number and can be parametrized by three real numbers. We make fully explicit the dynamics of ff thanks to two specific functions δ\delta and ϕ\phi depending on these parameters whose definitions involve Hecke-Mahler series. As an application, we show that the rotation number of ff is rational, when the three parameters are algebraic numbers.
