Abstract
LetS:[0, 1]→[0,1] be a piecewise convex transformation satisfying some conditions which guarantee the existence of an absolutely continuous invariant probability measure. We prove the convergence of a class of Markov finite approximations for computing the invariant measure, using a compactness argument forL 1-spaces.
