Computing the Topological Entropy of Multimodal Maps via Min-Max Sequences

We derive an algorithm to recursively determine the lap number (minimal number of monotonicity segments) of the iterates of twice differentiable l-modal map, enabling to numerically calculate the topological entropy of these maps. The algorithm is obtained by the min-max sequences—symbolic sequences...
