Abstract
Symbolic dynamics is effective for the classification of orbital types and their complexity in one dimensional maps. In this paper, techniques of symbolic dynamics are used to analyze the chaotic dynamical properties of a two-parameter family of piecewise smooth unimodal maps with one break point. Boundary crisis and interior crisis are described via the kneading sequences, while for the period-3 window, a subshift of finite type is constructed. In addition, based on the symbolic model, the topological entropy of the map is computed, and the existence of chaotic sets of Smale horseshoe type is also proved.
