Under different compactness assumptions pointwise and mean ergodic theorems for subadditive superstationary families of random sets whose values are weakly (or strongly) compact convex subsets of a separable Banach space are presented. The results generalize those of [14], where random sets in ${ℝ}^d$ are considered. Techniques used here are inspired by [3].

Junge and Xu (2007), employing the technique of noncommutative interpolation, established a maximal ergodic theorem in noncommutative $L_p$-spaces, 1 < p < ∞, and derived corresponding maximal ergodic inequalities and individual ergodic theorems. In this article, we derive maximal ergodic inequalities in noncommutative $L_p$-spaces directly from the results of Yeadon (1977) and apply them to prove corresponding individual and Besicovitch weighted ergodic theorems. Then we extend these results to noncommutative...

Jones and Rosenblatt started the study of an ergodic transform which is analogous to the martingale transform. In this paper we present a unified treatment of the ergodic transforms associated to positive groups induced by nonsingular flows and to general means which include the usual averages, Cesàro-α averages and Abel means. We prove the boundedness in $L^p$, 1 < p < ∞, of the maximal ergodic transforms assuming that the semigroup is Cesàro bounded in $L^p$. For p = 1 we find that the maximal ergodic...

We give lower and upper estimates of the capacity of self-similar measures generated by iterated function systems $(S_i,p_i):i=1,...,N$ where $S_i$ are bi-lipschitzean transformations.

The rate of growth of an operator T satisfying the mean ergodic theorem (MET) cannot be faster than linear. It was recently shown (Kornfeld-Kosek, Colloq. Math. 98 (2003)) that for every γ > 0, there are positive L¹[0,1] operators T satisfying MET with $li{m}_{n\to \infty }\left|\right|Tⁿ\left|\right|/n^{1-\gamma }=\infty$. In the class of positive L¹ operators this is the most one can hope for in the sense that for every such operator T, there exists a γ₀ > 0 such that $limsup\left|\right|Tⁿ\left|\right|/n^{1-\gamma ₀}=0.$ In this note we construct an example of a nonpositive L¹ operator with the highest possible...

An improvement of the generalization-obtained in a previous article [Bu1] by the author-of the uniform ergodic theorem to poles of arbitrary order is derived. In order to answer two natural questions suggested by this result, two examples are also given. Namely, two bounded linear operators T and A are constructed such that $n^{-2}Tⁿ$ converges uniformly to zero, the sum of the range and the kernel of 1-T being closed, and $n^{-3}{\sum }_{k=0}^{n-1}{A}^k$ converges uniformly, the sum of the range of 1-A and the kernel of (1-A)² being...

For a given linear operator L on ${\ell }^{\infty }$ with ∥L∥ = 1 and L(1) = 1, a notion of limit, called the L-limit, is defined for bounded sequences in a normed linear space X. In the case where L is the left shift operator on ${\ell }^{\infty }$ and $X={\ell }^{\infty }$, the definition of L-limit reduces to Lorentz’s definition of σ-limit, which is described by means of Banach limits on ${\ell }^{\infty }$. We discuss some properties of L-limits, characterize reflexive spaces in terms of existence of L-limits of bounded sequences, and formulate a version of the abstract...

It is shown that the set of learning systems having a singular stationary distribution is generic in the family of all systems satisfying the average contractivity condition.

It will be proved that if $N$ is a bounded nilpotent operator on a Banach space $X$ of order $k+1$, where $k\ge 1$ is an integer, then the $\gamma$-th order Cesàro mean $C_t^{\gamma }:=\gamma t^{-\gamma }{\int }_0^t{(t-s)}^{\gamma -1}T\left(s\right)ds$ and Abel mean $A_{\lambda }:=\lambda {\int }_0^{\infty }{e}^{-\lambda s}T\left(s\right)ds$ of the uniformly continuous semigroup ${\left(T\left(t\right)\right)}_{t\ge 0}$ of bounded linear operators on $X$ generated by $iaI+N$, where $0\ne a\in ℝ$, satisfy that (a) $\parallel C_t^{\gamma }\parallel \sim t^{k-\gamma }(t\to \infty )$ for all $0<\gamma \le k+1$; (b) $\parallel C_t^{\gamma }\parallel \sim t^{-1}(t\to \infty )$ for all $\gamma \ge k+1$; (c) $\parallel A_{\lambda }\parallel \sim \lambda (\lambda \downarrow 0)$. A similar result will be also proved for the uniformly continuous cosine function ${\left(C\left(t\right)\right)}_{t\ge 0}$ of bounded linear operators on $X$ generated by ${(iaI+N)}^2$.
