Abstract A well known chaotic mapping in symbol space is a shift mapping.
However, other chaotic mappings in symbol space exist too. The
basic change is to consider the process not only at a set of times
which are equally spaced, say at unit time apart (a shift
mapping), but at a set of times which are not equally spaced, say
if the unit time can not be fixed. The increasing mapping as a
generalization of the shift mapping and the k$-switch mapping are
introduced. The increasing and $k-switch mappings are chaotic.
