Abstract

We obtain a complete characterization of topologically exact patterns on triods. Based on their rotation number ρ, these exact patterns are grouped into three classes: slow (ρ< (1)/(3)), fast (ρ> (1)/(3)) and ternary (ρ= (1)/(3)). For each category, we derive a linear ordering of the set of natural numbers, ℕ that captures forcing between the patterns. We also show that each of these orderings is stable under perturbations.
