Abstract

For each prime number p, the dynamical behavior of the square mapping on the ring ℤp of p-adic integers is studied. For p=2, there are only attracting fixed points with their attracting basins. For p≥ 3, there are a fixed point 0 with its attracting basin, finitely many periodic points around which there are countably many minimal components and some balls of radius 1/p being attracting basins. All these minimal components are precisely exhibited for different primes p.
