The densities of invariant measures for Misiurewicz maps and Lasota-Yorke maps of class Cr are of class Cr-1 on certain intervals (forming the partition of an interval in case of Misiurewicz maps). For these maps the Perron-Frobenius operator has an unambiguous decomposition into the sum of projections onto eigenspaces (multiplied by the eigenvalues) and a remainder operator. The remainder operator has spectral radius less than one in certain spaces of smooth functions.
