In 1994, Ittai Kan provided the first examples of maps with intermingled basins. The Kan example corresponds to a partially hyperbolic endomorphism defined on a surface with the boundary exhibiting two intermingled hyperbolic physical measures. Both measures are supported on the boundary, and they are also measures maximizing the topological entropy. In this work, we prove the existence of a third hyperbolic measure supported in the interior of the cylinder that maximizes the entropy. We prove this statement for a larger class of maps including the Kan example.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
