Invariant measures on multi-valued functions

In this paper we consider the question of under which conditions multi-valued dynamical systems admit invariant measures. We give results on the existence of invariant measures with full support on orbit spaces of multi-valued dynamical systems. We use these measures on the orbit space to induce measures on the original dynamical system. We focus on the question of when a non-atomic invariant measure on the orbit space induces an atomic invariant measure on the multi-valued dynamical system. This phenomenon is an indicator of complicated multi-periodic behaviour. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
