Abstract
We say that a continuous map f f of a compact interval to itself is linear Markov if it is piecewise linear, and the set of all f k ( x ) {f^k}(x) , where k ⩾ 0 k \geqslant 0 and x x is an endpoint of a linear piece, is finite. We provide an effective classification, up to topological conjugacy, for linear Markov maps and an effective procedure for determining whether such a map is transitive. We also consider expanding Markov maps, partly to motivate the proof of the more complicated linear Markov case.
