Invariant measures for random expanding on average Saussol maps

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the existence of random absolutely continuous invariant measures (ACIP) for random expanding on average Saussol maps in higher dimensions. This is done by the establishment of a random Lasota-Yorke inequality for the transfer operators on the space of bounded oscillation. We prove that the number of ergodic skew product ACIPs is finite and provide an upper bound for the number of these ergodic ACIPs. This work can be seen as a generalization of the work in BGT on admissible random Jab{\l}o\'nski maps to a more general class of higher dimensional random maps.
