KNEADING THEORY FOR A FAMILY OF CIRCLE MAPS \ WITH ONE DISCONTINUITY
Ll. ALSED\`A and F. MA NOSAS
Abstract.
We apply the kneading theory techniques to a class of circle maps with one discontinuity and we characterize the rotation interval of a map in terms of the kneading sequences. As a consequence we obtain lower and upper bounds of the entropy depending on the rotation interval.
