%0 Journal Article %T Maximal entropy measures for Viana maps %A Alexander Arbieto %A Carlos Matheus %A Samuel Senti %J Mathematics %D 2003 %I arXiv %X In this note we construct measures of maximal entropy for a certain class of maps with critical points called Viana maps. The main ingredients of the proof are the non-uniform expansion features and the slow recurrence (to the critical set) of generic points with respect to the natural candidates for attaining the topological entropy. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0312173v2
