We consider skew tent maps T α,β (x) such that (α, β) ∈ [0, 1] 2 is the turning point of T α,β , that is, T α,β = β α x for 0 ≤ x ≤ α and T α,β (x) = β 1−α (1 − x) for α < x ≤ 1. We denote by M = K(α, β) the kneading sequence of T α,β and by h(α, β) its topological entropy. For a given kneading squence M we consider equikneading, (or equi-topological entropy, or isentrope) curves (α, ϕ M (α)) such that K(α, ϕ M (α)) = M . To study the behavior of these curves an auxiliary function Θ M (α, β) is introduced. For this function Θ M (α, ϕ M (α)) = 0, but it may happen that for some kneading sequences Θ M (α, β) = 0 for some β < ϕ M (α) with (α, β) still in the dynamically interesting quarter of the unit square. Using Θ M we show that the curves (α, ϕ M (α)) hit the diagonal {(β, β) : 0.5 < β < 1} almost perpendicularly if (β, β) is close to (1, 1). Answering a question asked by M. Misiurewicz at a conference we show that these curves are not necessarily exactly orthogonal to the diagonal, for example for M = RLLRC the curve (α, ϕ M (α)) is not orthogonal to the diagonal. On the other hand, for M = RLC it is. With different parametrization properties of equi-kneading maps for skew tent maps were considered by J.C. Marcuard, M. Misiurewicz and E. Visinescu.
