Abstract

We discuss several dynamical systems over finite fields and residue rings which are defined by "non-algebraic" maps, that is, by maps which are not explicitly represented by polynomials or rational functions. We give a survey of some theoretical results about such systems and compare heuristics with numerics which sometimes disagree in a rather intriguing way.
