Periodic Orbits with Least Period Three on the Circle

Abstract
The self-maps on the circle having periodic orbits with least period 3 are classified into relative homotopy-conjugacy classes. We will show that except for the maps in one exceptional class, all these kinds of maps have periodic orbits with all least periods but 2. Thus, a kind of Sharkovskii's type theorem on the circle is obtained.
