TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider families of multimodal interval maps with polynomial growth of the derivative along the critical orbits and show that these equilibrium states vary continuously in the weak$^*$ topology within such families.
Abstract: We consider families of multimodal interval maps with polynomial growth of the derivative along the critical orbits. For these maps Bruin and Todd have shown the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium states for the potential $\phi_t:x\mapsto-t\log|Df(x)|$, for $t$ close to 1. We show that these equilibrium states vary continuously in the weak$^*$ topology within such families. Moreover, in the case $t=1$, when the equilibrium states are absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue, we show that the densities vary continuously within these families.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the extreme value distribution of the stationary stochastic processes in the quadratic family of maps given by the Benedicks-Carleson parameter and showed that the limiting distribution of such processes is the same as that which would apply if the sequence was independent and identically distributed.
Abstract: We consider the quadratic family of maps given by $f_{a}(x)=1-a x^2$ with $x\in [-1,1]$, where $a$ is a Benedicks-Carleson parameter. For each of these chaotic dynamical systems we study the extreme value distribution of the stationary stochastic processes $X_0,X_1,...$, given by $X_{n}=f_a^n$, for every integer $n\geq0$, where each random variable $X_n$ is distributed according to the unique absolutely continuous, invariant probability of $f_a$. Using techniques developed by Benedicks and Carleson, we show that the limiting distribution of $M_n=\max\{X_0,...,X_{n-1}\}$ is the same as that which would apply if the sequence $X_0,X_1,...$ was independent and identically distributed. This result allows us to conclude that the asymptotic distribution of $M_n$ is of Type III (Weibull).
