Period-three-free five-cycle interval covering pattern
ID: period-three-free-five-cycle-interval-covering-pattern
For cycle points ordered , successive gap vertices have arrows , , , . Their transition-matrix traces through length four are , forcing periods one, two and four but not three. The affine interpolation through ordered values has no three-cycle: its only length-three closed interval itinerary is , on which the map is and its third iterate has only its fixed point. Two distinct length-four return words at vertex one give a horseshoe for the fourth iterate.
