Periodic points #
A point x : α is a periodic point of f : α → α of period n if f^[n] x = x.
Main definitions #
IsPeriodicPt f n x:xis a periodic point offof periodn, i.e.f^[n] x = x. We do not requiren > 0in the definition.ptsOfPeriod f n: the set{x | IsPeriodicPt f n x}. Note thatnis not required to be the minimal period ofx.periodicPts f: the set of all periodic points off.minimalPeriod f x: the minimal period of a pointxunder an endomorphismfor zero ifxis not a periodic point off.orbit f x: the cycle[x, f x, f (f x), ...]for a periodic point.MulAction.period g x: the minimal period of a pointxunder the multiplicative action ofg; an equivalentAddAction.period g xis defined for additive actions.
Main statements #
We provide “dot syntax”-style operations on terms of the form h : IsPeriodicPt f n x including
arithmetic operations on n and h.map (hg : SemiconjBy g f f'). We also prove that f
is bijective on each set ptsOfPeriod f n and on periodicPts f. Finally, we prove that x
is a periodic point of f of period n if and only if minimalPeriod f x | n.
References #
A point x is a periodic point of f : α → α of period n if f^[n] x = x.
Note that we do not require 0 < n in this definition. Many theorems about periodic points
need this assumption.

Instances For
A fixed point of f is a periodic point of f of any prescribed period.
For the identity map, all points are periodic.
Any point is a periodic point of period 0.
Equations
If f sends two periodic points x and y of the same positive period to the same point,
then x = y. For a similar statement about points of different periods see eq_of_apply_eq.
If f sends two periodic points x and y of positive periods to the same point,
then x = y.

The orbit of a periodic point x of f is the cycle [x, f x, f (f x), ...]. Its length is
the minimal period of x.
If x is not a periodic point, then this is the empty (aka nil) cycle.

MulAction.period m a is definitionally equal to Function.minimalPeriod (m • ·) a.
AddAction.period m a is definitionally equal to
Function.minimalPeriod (m +ᵥ ·) a
Multiples of MulAction.period #
It is easy to convince oneself that if g ^ n • a = a (resp. (n • g) +ᵥ a = a),
then n must be a multiple of period g a.
This also holds for negative powers/multiples.
