The Pianigiani-Yorke measure for topological Markov chains (Q1355250)

For an expanding smooth transformation \(T\) such that \(A\subset TA\), \textit{G. Pianigiani} and \textit{J. A. Yorke} constructed in [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 252, 351-366 (1979; Zbl 0417.28010)] a measure \(\mu\) such that \(\mu\circ T^{-1}=\alpha\mu\) for a number \(\alpha>0\). The authors construct an analogous measure in the setup of topological Markov chains by using the contraction properties of the Ruelle-Perron-Frobenius operator.
