Abstract
We study endperiodic maps of an infinite graph with finitely many ends. We
prove that any such map is homotopic to an endperiodic relative train track
map. Moreover, we show that the (largest) Perron-Frobenius eigenvalue of the
transition matrix is a canonical quantity associated to the map.
