Rotation sets for graph maps of degree 1
Abstract
For a continuous map on a topological graph containing a loop it is possible to define the degree (with respect to the loop ) and, for a map of degree , rotation numbers. We study the rotation set of these maps and the periods of periodic points having a given rotation number. We show that, if the graph has a single loop then the set of rotation numbers of points in has some properties similar to the rotation set of a circle map; in particular it is a compact interval and for every rational in this interval there exists a periodic point of rotation number . For a special class of maps called combed maps, the rotation set displays the same nice properties as the continuous degree one circle maps.
