Abstract.
The iterates of expanding maps of the unit interval into itself have many of the properties of a more conventional stochastic process, when the expanding map satisfies some regularity conditions and when the starting point is suitably chosen at random. In this paper, we show that the sequence of iterates can be closely tied to an m-dependent process. This enables us to prove good bounds on the accuracy of Gaussian approximations. Our main tools are coupling and Stein's method.
