Dynamical properties of mappings of an interval into itself are intensely studied from both< c theoretical" and c< experimental5?(numerical experiments) points of view. One of the most important theoretical problems (but also closely related to the problem of reliability of numerical results) is to establish for which mappings there exist invariant probabilistic measures, absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure, how many of them, and what are their ergodic properties. The aim of this paper is to answer these questions for a certain class of mappings. They are essentially the piecewise monotone mappings with non-positive Schwarzian derivative, no sinks and trajectories of critical points staying far from critical points (the exact conditions can be found in section 3: conditions (i)-(vi)). For a slightly similar class of mappings M. Jakobson [3] proved the existence of an absolutely continuous invariant measure. Our technique is quite different and it enables us to obtain much information about our measuies. After the preliminary results of Sections 1-5, we prove the main theorems (theorems (6.2) and (6.3)) in Section 6. For a mapping from our class, there exist a finite number (but at least one) of ergodic invariant probabilistic measures, absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Their densities are continuous on an open dense set. Images of every finite measure, absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure, under nk-th iterations of the mapping (for a certain k), converge strongly (as n-> co) to a linear combination of those measures. The mapping with every one of those measures is a skew product of a permutation of a finite set (in the base) and an exact transformation.In Section 7 we show that for most widely considered one-parameter families of mappings (like^ 1-^ 40^(1—^)), our conditions ((i)-(vi)) are satisfied for a set of parameters of power the continuum. The question, whether the measure of this set of parameters is zero or positive, remains open. However, there is some evidence that
