Abstract

Let ϕ1,,ϕn:[0,1](0,1)\phi_1,\ldots,\phi_n:[0,1]\to (0,1) be Lipschitz contractions. Let I=[0,1)I=[0,1), x0=0x_0=0 and xn=1x_n=1. We prove that for Lebesgue almost every (x1,...,xn1)(x_1,...,x_{n-1}) satisfying 0<x1<<xn1<10<x_1<\cdots <x_{n-1}<1, the piecewise contraction f:IIf:I\to I defined by x[xi1,xi)ϕi(x)x\in [x_{i-1},x_i)\mapsto \phi_i(x) is asymptotically periodic. More precisely, ff has at least one and at most nn periodic orbits and the ω\omega-limit set ωf(x)\omega_f(x) is a periodic orbit of ff for every xIx\in I.
