Abstract

We show that if \(f: \mathbb R\rightarrow \mathbb R\) is a continuous transitive map and \(\gamma :[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb R\) is a nonconstant curve having finite total variation, then the total variation of \(f^n\circ \gamma \) tends to infinity exponentially as \(n \rightarrow \infty \). A similar result is also proved for a Devaney chaotic map on a graph G.
