The flat-trace asymptotics of a uniform system of contractions

  • David Fried (a1)
Extract

We develop a variant of the Taylor approximation approach to the periodic points of systems of contraction mappings [Rl] that does not invoke compactness conditions. Our presentation is simpler, in that certain steps are bypassed and only one basic estimate is used (Lemma 1). We also study the distribution of the discrete spectrum for the relevant transfer operators (Proposition 2).
