Maps f:Δ1→Δ1f: \Delta_{1} \rightarrow \Delta_{1} and g:Δ2→Δ2g: \Delta_{2} \rightarrow \Delta_{2} (Δ1,Δ2\Delta_{1}, \Delta_{2} being intervals on the line) are called topologically conjugate if there exists a continuous bijection (homeomorphism) h:Δ2→Δ1h: \Delta_{2} \rightarrow \Delta_{1} such that f=h∘g∘h−1f=h \circ g \circ h^{-1} (i.e., h∘g=f∘hh \circ g=f \circ h). In this case we write f∼gf \sim g and call hh the conjugating map. It is assumed that the maps are continuous, defined on intervals, and map them into themselves.

Prove that the relation of topological conjugacy is an equivalence relation, i.e.

f∼gf \sim g if and only if g∼fg \sim f;

(c)

if f1∼f2,f2∼f3f_{1} \sim f_{2}, f_{2} \sim f_{3}, then f1∼f3f_{1} \sim f_{3}.

In this case we write f∼gf \sim g and call hh the conjugating map. It is assumed that the maps are continuous, defined on intervals, and map them into themselves.

In this case we write f∼gf \sim g and call hh the conjugating map. It is assumed that the maps are continuous, defined on intervals, and map them into themselves.

In this case we write f∼gf \sim g and call hh the conjugating map. It is assumed that the maps are continuous, defined on intervals, and map them into themselves.

Prove that if f∼gf \sim g, then the intervals on which the inequality f(x)>xf(x)>x holds are carried by the conjugating map hh into intervals on which (depending on the character of the monotonicity of hh) the same or the opposite strict inequality holds for the map gg. Prove that if the maps ff and gg are defined on R\mathbb {R} and one of them is odd, then the conjugating bijection hh can be chosen to be increasing.
