Given an one-dimensional Lorenz-like expanding map we prove that the condition P top (φ, ∂P, ℓ) < P top (φ, ℓ) (see, subsection 2.4 for definition), introduced by Buzzi and Sarig in ([1]) is satisfied for all continuous potentials φ : [0, 1] −→ R. We apply this to prove that quasi-H öldercontinuous potentials (see, subsection 2.2 for definition) have at most one equilibrium measure and we construct a family of continuous but not H ölder and neither weak H ölder continuous potentials for which we observe phase transitions. Indeed, this class includes all H ölder and weak-H ölder continuous potentials and form an open and dense subset of C([0, 1], R), with the usual C 0 topology. This give a certain generalization of the results proved in [2].
