On the mixing properties of piecewise expanding maps under composition with permutations, II: Maps of non-constant orientation
For an integer [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the partition of the unit interval [Formula: see text] into [Formula: see text] equal subintervals, and let [Formula: see text] be the class of piecewise linear maps on [Formula: see text] with constant slope [Formula: see text] on each element of [Formula: see text]. We investigate the effect on mixing properties when [Formula: see text] is composed with the interval exchange map given by a permutation [Formula: see text] interchanging the [Formula: see text] subintervals of [Formula: see text]. This extends the work in a previous paper [N. P. Byott, M. Holland and Y. Zhang, DCDS 33 (2013) 3365–3390], where we considered only the “stretch-and-fold” map [Formula: see text].
