Let $S$ be the unit circle in the complex plane (i.e. the set of all complex numbers with their moduli equal to $1$).
We define function $f:S\rightarrow S$ as follow: $\forall z\in S$,
$ f^{(1)}(z)=f(z), f^{(2)}(z)=f(f(z)), \dots,$
$f^{(k)}(z)=f(f^{(k-1)}(z)) (k>1,k\in \mathbb{N}), \dots$
We call $c$ an $n$-[i]period-point[/i] of $f$ if $c$ ($c\in S$) and $n$ ($n\in\mathbb{N}$) satisfy:
$f^{(1)}(c) \not=c, f^{(2)}(c) \not=c, f^{(3)}(c) \not=c, \dots, f^{(n-1)}(c) \not=c, f^{(n)}(c)=c$.
