Symbolic dynamics of bimodal maps.
In this paper we introduce a ⊗-operation over Markov transition matrices, in the context of subshift of finite type, reproducing symbolic properties of the iterates of the critical point on a one-parameter family of unimodal maps. To the *-product between kneading sequences we associate a ⊗-product between the corresponding Markov matrices.
We elaborate a method allowing the determination of 0-1 matrices corresponding to dynamics of the interval having stable, 2-periodic orbits, k belonging to N. By recurrence on the finite dimensional matrices, we establish the form of the infinite matrices (k --> ∞).
