Abstract This paper presents an example of a piecewise linear map used to model the dynamics of certain nonlinear mechanical systems. It is shown that a period three solution exists, and computational study seems to indicate that it is a global attractor except possibly over a set of measure zero. The computations are performed using the cell mapping approach from both the deterministic and probabilistic points of view.
