Abstract

Let 1<λ<1-1<\lambda<1 and f:[0,1)Rf:[0,1)\to\mathbb{R} be a piecewise λ\lambda-affine map, that is, there exist points 0=c0<c1<<cn1<cn=10=c_0<c_1<\cdots <c_{n-1}<c_n=1 and real numbers b1,,bnb_1,\ldots,b_n such that f(x)=λx+bif(x)=\lambda x+b_i for every x[ci1,ci)x\in [c_{i-1},c_i). We prove that, for Lebesgue almost every δR\delta\in\mathbb{R}, the map fδ=f+δ(mod1)f_{\delta}=f+\delta\,({\rm mod}\,1) is asymptotically periodic. More precisely, fδf_{\delta} has at most 2n2n periodic orbits and the ω\omega-limit set of every x[0,1)x\in [0,1) is a periodic orbit.
