Abstract

Let Ω be a bounded region in Rn and let be a partition of Ω into a finite number of subsets having piecewise C2 boundaries. The boundaries may contain cusps. Let τ: Ω → Ω be piecewise C2 on and expanding in the sense that there exists α > 1 such that for any i = 1, 2,…,m, where is the derivative matrix of and ‖·‖ is the euclidean matrix norm. The main result provides a lower bound on α which guarantees the existence of an absolutely continuous invariant measure for τ.
