Abstract
We study the homology theory of l-modal maps of the interval. We give anoth er proof of the Milnor and Thurston results about zeta-functions and we giv e a functorial approach to kneading theory. Our results give explicit metho ds for computing the sequences of lap numbers l(f(k)) and the sequences of numbers of periodic points in an arbitrary interval [x, y].
