Abstract

We prove the existence of an effective universal upper bound for the order of any integral periodic orbit of any integral algebraic dynamical system in a fixed ambient space. Using this, we demonstrate the decidability of periodicity in arbitrary finitely generated algebraic dynamical systems over fields of characteristic zero.
