Geometrical Properties of the Mean-Median Map

We study the mean-median map as a dynamical system on the space of finite sets of piecewise-affine continuous functions with rational coefficients. We determine the structure of the limit function in the neighbourhood of a distinctive family of rational points, the local minima. By constructing a simpler map which represents the dynamics in such neighbourhoods, we extend the results of Cellarosi and Munday (arXiv:1408.3454v1 [math.CO]) by two orders of magnitude. Based on these computations, we conjecture that the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of the limit function of the set $[0,x,1]$ is greater than 1.
