The doubling map on the unit circle is
It is chaotic in Devaney's sense.
The doubling map preserves normalized Lebesgue measure on the unit circle. Each point has exactly two preimages, and modulo one, and each inverse branch scales lengths by .
If in base two, then
Binary cylinders make transitivity and density of periodic points transparent: concatenate prescribed finite blocks for transitivity and repeat a finite block for a periodic point.
The fixed points of are
Thus has fixed points.
For , every proper period dividing divides . Hence the number of points of exact period is

The term "dyadic transformation" can refer to different concepts depending on the context—it's not universally defined and may appear in various fields such as mathematics, physics, or even psychology. However, one prominent interpretation is in the context of **mathematics**, particularly in relation to **linear algebra** and **tensor analysis**. In a mathematical context, dyadic transformation typically refers to a transformation involving dyadic products, which are mathematical constructs used to represent linear maps between vector spaces.
