periodic point of

Let a continuum X$ and a mapping f: X \to X$ be given. For each natural number n$ denote by f^n$ the n$-th iteration of f$. A point p \in X$ is called a periodic point of f$ provided that there is n \in \mathbb{N}$ such that f^n(p) = p$ The set of periodic points of a mapping f: X \to X$ are denoted by P(f)$.
