Abstract

For a large class of non-uniformly expanding maps of ℝm, with indifferent fixed points and unbounded distortion and that are non-necessarily Markovian, we construct an absolutely continuous invariant measure. We extend previously used techniques for expanding maps on quasi-Hölder spaces to our case. We give general conditions and provide examples to which our results apply.
