Abstract: In this paper we study the double transpose of the $L^1(X,mathscrB(X),u)$-extensions of the Ruelle transfer operator $mathscr{L}_f$ associated to a general real continuous potential $finC(X)$, where $X=E^{mathbbN}$, the alphabet $E$ is any compact metric space and $u$ is a maximal eigenmeasure. For this operator, denoted by $mathbb{L}_f^{\ast \ast }$, we prove the existence of some non-negative eigenfunction, in the Banach lattice sense, associated to $ho(mathscr{L}_f)$, the spectral radius of the Ruelle operator acting on $C(X)$. As an application, we obtain a sufficient condition ensuring that the natural extension of the Ruelle operator to $L^1(X,mathscrB(X),u)$ has an eigenfunction associated to $ho(mathscr{L}_f)$. These eigenfunctions agree with the usual maximal eigenfunctions, when the potential $f$ belongs to the H"older, Walters or Bowen class. We also construct solutions to the classical and generalized variational problem, using the eigenvector constructed here.
