Abstract

The two-dimensional analogue of the Sharkovski order on periods for maps of the interval restricts to a partial order on essential pseudo-Anosov conjugacy classes in the mapping class group of the $n$-times punctured disk. In this paper we give an explicit description of this restricted partial order in the case when $n=3$.
