Summary:
This paper examines the steady state behavior of a class of periodically perturbed mappings. This class displays a generalized periodicity and is characterized in the steady-state by an invariant set, or belt, of points of period-n. The rate of convergence to these belts and the thickness of the belt is seen to be influenced by the frequency of the perturbation. Furthermore, when the perturbation frequency equals π rad/s, generalized period-n behavior, where n is even, reduces to period-n behavior.
