A characterization of w-limit sets of tent maps
by
Andy Barwell
University of Birmingham

For the interval I=[0, 1] and a tent map f:I→ I, the w-limit set of x ∈ I is the set of all limit points of the orbit of x. Here we present a characterization which relies heavily upon symbolic dynamics, and in so doing give some insight not only into the structure of w-limit sets but also of the symbol space of itineraries for the tent map.
