INVARIANT MEASURES FOR MARKOV MAPS OF THE INTERVAL

There is a theorem in ergodic theory which gives three conditions sufficient for a piecewise smooth mapping on the interval to admit a finite invariant ergodic measure equivalent to Lebesgue. When the hypotheses fail in certain ways, this work shows that the same conclusion can still be gotten by applying the theorem mentioned to another transformation related to the original one by the method of inducing. © 1979 Springer-Verlag.
