Abstract

For a map f:IIf:I \rightarrow I, a point xIx \in I is periodic with period pNp \in \mathbb{N} if fp(x)=xf^p(x)=x and fj(x)xf^j(x)\not=x for all 0<j<p0<j<p. When ff is continuous and II is an interval, a theorem due to Sharkovskii (\cite{BC}) states that there is an order in N\mathbb{N}, say \lhd, such that, if ff has a periodic point of period pp and pqp \lhd q, then ff also has a periodic point of period qq. In this work, we will see how an extension of this order \lhd to an ultrapower of the integer numbers yields a Sharkovskii-type result for non-wandering points of ff.
