On Ruelle-Perron-Frobenius operators. I: Ruelle theorem (Q5953696)

The paper deals with a new proof of the Ruelle theorem for a locally expanding and mixing dynamical system on a general compact metric space associated with a potential satisfying the Dini condition. The authors apply their result to prove the existence and uniqueness of a smooth invariant measure for an expanding \(C^{1+\omega}\) dynamical system on a \(d\)-dimensional connected compact Riemannian manifold, where \(\omega\) is a modulus of continuity which satisfies the Dini condition.
