We give sufficient conditions for the induced measure to be a Gibbs measure (in the sense of Bowen) when the factor system is again a topological Markov chain. This amounts to constructing, when it does exist, the induced potential and proving its Holder continuity. This is achieved through a matrix method. We provide examples and counterexamples to illustrate our results.4 latex figuresDynamical SystemsProbabilitytext
