Abstract
This paper focuses on the study of a one dimensional topological dynamical system, the tent function. We
give a good background to the theory of dynamical systems while establishing the important asymptotic
properties of topological dynamical systems that distinguishes it from other fields by way of an example
- the tent function. A precise definition of the tent function is given and iterates are clearly shown using
the phase diagrams. By this same method, chaos in the tent map is shown as iterates become higher. We
also show that the tent map has infinitely many chaotic orbits and also express some important features
of chaos such as topological transitivity, boundedness and sensitivity to change in initial conditions from a
topological viewpoint.
