Analytic functions are introduced, which are analogous to the Fredholm determinant, but may have only finite radius of convergence. These functions are associated with operators of the form ε μ(dω) ℒω, where ℒω φ(x) = ϕω(x). φ(ψω x), , φ belongs to a space of Hölder or Cr functions, ϕω is Hölder or Cr, and ψω is a contraction or a Cr contraction. The results obtained extend earlier results by Haydn, Pollicott, Tangerman and the author on zeta functions of expanding maps.
