Convergence of Time-Average along Uniformly Behaved in ${\mathbb N}$ Sequences on Every Point
Abstract
We define a uniformly behaved in arithmetic sequence and an -mean Lyapunov stable dynamical system . We consider the time-average of a continuous function along the -orbit of up to . The main result we prove in the paper is that this partial time-average converges for every point in the space if is uniformly behaved in and is minimal and uniquely ergodic and -mean Lyapunov stable. In addition, if is also completely additive, we then prove that the time-average of a continuous function along the square-free -orbit of up to converges for every point in the space as well. All equicontinuous dynamical systems are -mean Lyapunov stable for any sequence . When is a subsequence of with positive lower density, we give two non-trivial examples of -mean Lyapunov stable dynamical systems. We give several examples of uniformly behaved in sequences, including the counting function of the prime factors in natural numbers, the subsequence of natural numbers indexed by the Thue-Morse (or Rudin-Shapiro) sequence, and the sequence of even (or odd) prime factor natural numbers. We also show that the sequence of square-free natural numbers (or even (or odd) prime factor square-free natural numbers) is rotationally distributed in but not uniformly distributed in , thus not uniformly behaved in . We derive other consequences from the main result relevant to number theory and ergodic theory/dynamical systems.
