We prove a weak form of the Lasota-Yorke inequality for P_T and thereby prove the existence of BV- invariant densities for T. Using the Spectral Decomposition Theorem we prove that the support of an invariant density is open a.e. and give conditions such that the invariant density for T is unique. We study the asymptotic behavior of the Markov operator P_T, especially when T has a unique absolutely continuous invariant measure (ACIM). Under the assumption of uniqueness, we obtain spectral stability in the sense of Keller. As an application, we can use Ulam's method to approximate the invariant density of P_T.enAvailable to the World Wide WebLasota-Yorke inequalityPerron-Frobenius operartorrandom mapspectral decomposition theoremUlam's methodUVic Subject Index::Sciences and Engineering::MathematicsThesis
