Abstract: In the first part of the paper, we develop a theory of crossed products of a C∗-algebra A by an arbitrary (not necessarily extendible) endomorphism alpha:AoA. We consider relative crossed products C∗(A,alpha;J) where J is an ideal in A, and describe up to Morita-Rieffel equivalence all gauge invariant ideals in C∗(A,alpha;J) and give six term exact sequences determining their K-theory. We also obtain certain criteria implying that all ideals in C∗(A,alpha;J) are gauge invariant, and that C∗(A,alpha;J) is purely infinite. In the second part, we consider a situation where A is a C0(X)-algebra and alpha is such that alpha(fa)=Phi(f)alpha(a), ainA, finC0(X) where Phi is an endomorphism of C0(X). Pictorially speaking, alpha is a mixture of a topological dynamical system (X,varphi) dual to (C0(X),Phi) and a continuous field of homomorphisms alphax between the fibers A(x), xinX, of the corresponding C∗-bundle. For systems described above, we establish efficient conditions for the uniqueness property, gauge-invariance of all ideals, and pure infiniteness of C∗(A,alpha;J). We apply these results to the case when X=Prim(A) is a Hausdorff space. In particular, if the associated C∗-bundle is trivial, we obtain formulas for K-groups of all ideals in C∗(A,alpha;J). In this way, we constitute a large class of crossed products whose ideal structure and K-theory is completely described in terms of (X,varphi,alphaxxinX;Y) where Y is a closed subset of X.
