Let $ f : [0,1)\rightarrow [0,1) $ be a $ 2 $-interval piecewise affine increasing map which is injective but not surjective. Such a map $ f $ has a rotation number and can be parametrized by three real numbers. We make fully explicit the dynamics of $ f $ thanks to two specific functions $ {\boldsymbol{\delta}} $ and $ \phi $ depending on these parameters whose definitions involve Hecke-Mahler series. As an application, we show that the rotation number of $ f $ is rational, whenever the three parameters are all algebraic numbers, extending thus the main result of [16] dealing with the particular case of $ 2 $-interval piecewise affine contractions with constant slope.

Keywords: Piecewise affine maps, rotation numbers, Sturmian sequences, Hecke-Mahler series.
