The behaviour of the nonwandering set of a piecewise monotonic interval map under small perturbations
In this paper piecewise monotonic maps are considered. Let be a finite union of open intervals, and consider the set of all points whose orbits omit . The influence of small perturbations of the endpoints of the intervals in on the dynamical system is investigated. The decomposition of the nonwandering set into maximal topologically transitive subsets behaves very unstably. Nonetheless, it is shown that a maximal topologically transitive subset cannot be completely destroyed by arbitrary...
