Rotation number and dynamics of 3-interval piecewise $\lambda$-affine contractions
Abstract
We consider a family of piecewise contractions admitting a rotation number and defined for every by , where , , , and if and otherwise. In the special case where , the family reduces to the well studied ``contracted rotations" , which are 2-interval piecewise -affine contractions when . Considering allows maps with an additional discontinuity, that is, -interval piecewise -affine contractions. Supposing and fixed, for any and , we provide the values of the parameters and for which the corresponding map has rotation number , and a symbolic dynamics containing that of the rotation of angle with respect to the partition given by the positions of and in . This enables in particular to determine the maps that have a given number of periodic orbits of an arbitrary period, or a Cantor set attractor supporting a dynamics of a given complexity.
