- It wouldn't hurt to go back and read some of the original papers
- in this area:
-
- Metropolis, N., M.L. Stein, and P.R. Stein. On the finite
- limit sets for transformations on the unit interval.
- _J. of Comb. Theory_ 15(1), 25--44 (July 1973).
-
- Derrida, B., A. Gervois, and Y. Pomeau. Iteration of
- endomorphisms on the real axis and representation of
- numbers. _Annales de l' Institut Henri Poincare_
- (Section A) 29(3), 305--356 (1978).
-
- I believe both of these (and more) are reprinted in Bai-Lin Hao's
- _Chaos_ (World Scientific, Singapore, 1984, Q295.C44). There's
- also a book by Hao entitled _Elementary Symbolic Dynamics and
- Chaos in Dissipative Systems_ (World Scientific, Singapore, 1989,
- Q172.5.C45 H36) which you might find interesting. His biblio-
- graphy, by the way, is incredibly exhaustive.

-
- Recently, it's been shown that transitivity and dense periodic
- points imply sensitive dependence. See
-
- J. Banks, J. Brooks, G. Cairns, G. Davis and P. Stacey.
- On Devaney's definition of chaos. _Amer. Math. Monthly_
- 99(4), 332--334, 1992.
-
- and the letter on p.865 of November's _Monthly_ (Vol.99,
- No.9) by Assaf and Gadbois.
