Functorial orbit counting
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 12 (2009) no. 2
We study the functorial and growth properties of closed orbits for maps. By viewing an arbitrary sequence as the orbit-counting function for a map, iterates and Cartesian products of maps define new transformations between integer sequences. An orbit monoid is associated to any integer sequence, giving a dynamical interpretation of the Euler transform.
