Abstract

Recently, there has been an increasing interest on nonautonomous composition of perturbed hyperbolic systems: composing perturbations of a given hyperbolic map FF results in statistical behaviour close to that of FF. We show this fact in the case of piecewise regular expanding maps. In particular, we impose conditions on perturbations of this class of maps that include situations slightly more general than what has been considered so far, and prove that these are stochastically stable in the usual sense. We then prove that the evolution of a given distribution of mass under composition of time dependent perturbations (arbitrarily - rather than randomly - chosen at each step) close to a given map FF remains close to the invariant mass distribution of FF. Moreover, for almost every point, Birkhoff averages along trajectories do not fluctuate wildly. This result complements recent results on memory loss for nonautonomous dynamical systems.
