A recycled characterization of kneading sequences

• For any infinite sequence E on two symbols one can define two sequences of positive integers S(E) (the splitting times) and T(E) (the cosplitting times), which each describe the self-replicative structure of E. If E is the kneading sequence of a unimodal map, it is known that S(E) and T(E) carry a lot of information on the dynamics, and that they are disjoint. We show the reverse implication: A nonperiodic sequence E is the kneading sequence of some unimodal map if the sequences S(E) and T(E) are disjoint.
