Abstract

We study the existence of SRB measures of \(C^2\) diffeomorphisms for attractors whose bundles admit Hölder continuous invariant (non-dominated) splittings. We prove the existence when one sub-bundle has the non-uniform expanding property on a set with positive Lebesgue measure and the other sub-bundle admits non-positive Lyapunov exponents on a total probability set.

  1. The contradiction of the case \( \ell (Q)\mu _Q(Q)<1\) can be obtained similarly.
