Extract

My first paper (5), submitted for publication by my supervisor Philip Hall, dealt with iteration of a continuous map of an interval. This subject has recently become fashionable and many interesting results are discussed in the book of Collet and Eckmann (4). Several of these results hold for special types of map, for example those with negative Schwarzian derivative. However here, as in my original paper, we will be concerned with arbitrary continuous maps.
