Spontaneous clustering in theoretical and some empirical stationary processes*

T. Downarowicz, Y. Lacroix, D. Léandri (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In a stationary ergodic process, clustering is defined as the tendency of events to appear in series of increased frequency separated by longer breaks. Such behavior, contradicting the theoretical “unbiased behavior” with exponential distribution of the gaps between appearances, is commonly observed in experimental processes and often difficult to explain. In the last section we relate one such empirical example of clustering, in the area of marine technology. In the theoretical part of the paper...

SRB-like Measures for C⁰ Dynamics

Eleonora Catsigeras, Heber Enrich (2011)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

For any continuous map f: M → M on a compact manifold M, we define SRB-like (or observable) probabilities as a generalization of Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen (i.e. physical) measures. We prove that f always has observable measures, even if SRB measures do not exist. We prove that the definition of observability is optimal, provided that the purpose of the researcher is to describe the asymptotic statistics for Lebesgue almost all initial states. Precisely, the never empty set of all observable measures is...

Standardness of sequences of σ-fields given by certain endomorphisms

Jacob Feldman, Daniel Rudolph (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

 Let E be an ergodic endomorphism of the Lebesgue probability space X, ℱ, μ. It gives rise to a decreasing sequence of σ-fields ℱ , E - 1 ℱ , E - 2 ℱ , . . . A central example is the one-sided shift σ on X = 0 , 1 ℕ with 1 2 , 1 2 product measure. Now let T be an ergodic automorphism of zero entropy on (Y, ν). The [I|T] endomorphismis defined on (X× Y, μ× ν) by ( x , y ) → ( σ ( x ) , T x ( 1 ) ( y ) ) . Here ℱ is the σ-field of μ× ν-measurable sets. Each field is a two-point extension of the one beneath it. Vershik has defined as “standard” any decreasing sequence of σ-fields isomorphic...

Strongly mixing sequences of measure preserving transformations

Ehrhard Behrends, Jörg Schmeling (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We call a sequence ( T n ) of measure preserving transformations strongly mixing if P ( T n - 1 A ∩ B ) tends to P ( A ) P ( B ) for arbitrary measurable A , B . We investigate whether one can pass to a suitable subsequence ( T n k ) such that 1 K ∑ k = 1 K f ( T n k ) ⟶ ∫ f d P almost surely for all (or “many”) integrable f .

Structure of mixing and category of complete mixing for stochastic operators

Anzelm Iwanik, Ryszard Rębowski (1992)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Let T be a stochastic operator on a σ-finite standard measure space with an equivalent σ-finite infinite subinvariant measure λ. Then T possesses a natural "conservative deterministic factor" Φ which is the Frobenius-Perron operator of an invertible measure preserving transformation φ. Moreover, T is mixing ("sweeping") iff φ is a mixing transformation. Some stronger versions of mixing are also discussed. In particular, a notion of *L¹-s.o.t. mixing is introduced and characterized in terms of weak...

S-unimodal Misiurewicz maps with flat critical points

Roland Zweimüller (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider S-unimodal Misiurewicz maps T with a flat critical point c and show that they exhibit ergodic properties analogous to those of interval maps with indifferent fixed (or periodic) points. Specifically, there is a conservative ergodic absolutely continuous σ-finite invariant measure μ, exact up to finite rotations, and in the infinite measure case the system is pointwise dual ergodic with many uniform and Darling-Kac sets. Determining the order of return distributions to suitable reference...

Support overlapping L 1 contractions and exact non-singular transformations

Michael Lin (2000)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let T be a positive linear contraction of L 1 of a σ-finite measure space (X,Σ,μ) which overlaps supports. In general, T need not be completely mixing, but it is in the following cases: (i) T is the Frobenius-Perron operator of a non-singular transformation ϕ (in which case complete mixing is equivalent to exactness of ϕ). (ii) T is a Harris recurrent operator. (iii) T is a convolution operator on a compact group. (iv) T is a convolution operator on a LCA group.
