Abstract

We consider a piecewise smooth expanding map f on the unit interval that has the form $f(x)=x+x^{1+\gamma}+o(x^{1+\gamma})$ near 0, where $0<\gamma < 1$. We prove by showing both lower and upper bounds that the rate of decay of correlations with respect to the absolutely continuous invariant probability measure $\mu$ is polynomial with the same degree $1/\gamma-1$ for Lipschitz functions. We also show that the density function h of $\mu$ has the order $x^{-\gamma}$ as $x\to 0$. Perron–Frobenius operators are the main tool used for proofs.
