Lyapunov exponent for chaotic 1D maps with uniform invariant distribution

Some properties of iterative functions of 1D chaotic maps that provide uniform invariant distribution are formulated. A method for synthesizing strictly nonlinear maps with uniform invariant distribution is demonstrated. The Lyapunov exponents for such maps are analyzed and it is shown that, among the maps with a specified number of full branches, piecewise linear maps with branches characterized by equal moduli of angular coefficients have the maximum Lyapunov exponent.
