Statistical stability of interval maps with critical points and singularities
We prove strong statistical stability of a large class of one-dimensional maps which may have an arbitrary finite number of discontinuities and of non-degenerate critical points and/or singular points with infinite derivative, and satisfy some expansivity and bounded recurrence conditions. This generalizes known results for maps with critical points and bounded derivatives and in particular proves statistical stability of Lorenz-like maps with critical points and singularities studied in [S. Luzzatto and W. Tucker. Non-uniformly expanding dynamics in maps with singularities and criticalities. Inst. Hautes Etudes Sci. Publ. Math., (89):179-226, 1999]. We introduce a natural metric on the space of maps with discontinuities which does not seem to have been used in the literature before.
