Topologically Transitive


A function f is topologically transitive if, given any two intervals U and V, there is some positive integer k such that f^k(U) intersection V!=emptyset. Vaguely, this means that neighborhoods of points eventually get flung out to "big" sets so that they don't necessarily stick together in one localized clump.
