Abstract

We establish an exact formula for the distribution of the partial maximum sequence generated by the stationary process obtained by iterations of the Rényi map xβx mod 1, β = 2, 3, .... We thus obtain a simple proof of some asymptotic behaviour of the extremes and the values of the extremal index. A numerical application is presented.
