We study continuous maps of an interval into itself. We find the necessary and sufficient condition for the maps of the type 2" to have the shadowing property. Further we show that any chaotic map, which has only cycles of order a power of 2, does not have the shadowing property. Introduction Let /:/(=(0;l))—»7 be a continuous map of the interval 7 to itself (i.e., / G C°(7, 7)). The orbit of x...
