Abstract

We present a class of S-unimodal maps having an invariant measure which is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure. This measure can often be proved to be finite. We give an example of a map which has such a finite measure and for which the lim inf of the derivatives of the iterates of the map in the critical value is finite. It will be shown that all topologically conjugate non-flat S-unimodal maps have the same properties.
