Large entropy implies existence of a maximal entropy measure for interval maps

Abstract

We give a new type of sufficient condition for the existence of measures with maximal entropy for an interval map ff, using some non-uniform hyperbolicity to compensate for a lack of smoothness of ff. More precisely, if the topological entropy of a C1C^1 interval map is greater than the sum of the local entropy and the entropy of the critical points, then there exists at least one measure with maximal entropy. As a corollary, we obtain that any CrC^r interval map ff such that htop(f)>2logf/rh_{{\rm top}}(f)>2\log\|f'\|_{\infty}/r possesses measures with maximal entropy.
