Abstract: It is well known that the average position or barycenter of generic orbits for the standard tent map is $ 0.5$. Periodic orbits are exceptional orbits in the sense that most of them have barycenters different from $ 0.5$. In this paper we prove that for any positive integer $ n$, there exist $ n$ distinct periodic orbits for the standard tent map with the same barycenter. We also provide some patterns of periodic orbits with the same barycenter.
