Many textbooks use these functions to introduce concepts in chaotic dynamics, but in an overly general way. I'm interested in more detailed and specific results (what are the 2^n periodic points of period n of the tent map, for instance) which are probably buried in some papers somewhere. I sure would appre- ciate relevant pointers into the literature. Thanks, Tom Scavo ---------
