Abstract

In this paper, we study non-uniformly expanding repellers constructed as the limit sets for a non-uniformly expanding dynamical systems. We prove that given a Hölder continuous potential φ satisfying a summability condition, there exists non-lacunary Gibbs measure for φ, with positive Lyapunov exponents and infinitely many hyperbolic times almost everywhere. Moreover, this non-lacunary Gibbs measure is an equilibrium measure for φ.
