Generalized limits and a mean ergodic theorem
For a given linear operator L on 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 and , the definition of L-limit reduces to Lorentz’s definition of σ-limit, which is described by means of Banach limits on . 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...
