Abstract:

We consider a positively expansive local homeomorphism $T\colon X\to X$ satisfying a weak specification property and study the Ruelle operator $\mathcal{L}_\varphi$ of a real-valued continuous function $\varphi$satisfying a property we call Bowen's condition. We study convergence properties of the iterates $\mathcal{L}_\varphi^n$ and relate them to the theory of equilibrium states.
