In this article, we introduce an ergodic optimization problem inspired by information theory, which can be presented informally as follows: given a factor map $\pi : (X, T) \to (Y, S)$ of topological dynamical systems, and a continuous…

Previous work introduced two measure-conjugacy invariants: the $f$-invariant (for actions of free groups) and $\Sigma$-entropy (for actions of sofic groups). The purpose of this paper is to show that the $f$-invariant is a special case of…

Ergodic optimization is the study of problems relating to maximizing orbits, maximizing invariant measures and maximum ergodic averages. An orbit of a dynamical system is called f-maximizing if the time average of the real-valued function f…

This paper establishes the first-order convergence rate for the ergodic error of numerical approximations to a class of stochastic ODEs (SODEs) with superlinear coefficients and multiplicative noise. By leveraging the generator approach to…

In this work we obtain a new criterion to establish ergodicity and non-uniform hyperbolicity of smooth measures of diffeomorphisms. This method allows us to give a more accurate description of certain ergodic components. The use of this…

Generalizing the notion of the degree of a finite-to-one factor code from a shift of finite type, the class degree of a possibly infinite-to-one factor extends many important properties of degree. In this paper, introducing class degree, we…

We consider an infinite-to-one factor map from an irreducible shift of finite type X to a sofic shift Y. A compensation function relates equilibrium states on X to equilibrium states on Y. The p-Dini condition is given as a way of measuring…

In this paper, we investigate capacity preserving transformations and their ergodicity. We show that for any measurable transformation $\theta$ there always exists a $\theta$-invariant capacity. We investigate some limit properties under…

Consider a class of skew product transformations consisting of an ergodic or a periodic transformation on a probability space (M, B, m) in the base and a semigroup of transformations on another probability space (W,F,P) in the fibre. Under…

This paper presents different approaches, based on functional inequalities, to study the speed of convergence in total variation distance of ergodic diffusion processes with initial law satisfying a given integrability condition. To this…

For a subshift $(X, \sigma_X)$ and a subadditive sequence $\mathcal{F}=\{\log f_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on $X$, we study equivalent conditions for the existence of $h\in C(X)$ such that $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}(1/{n})\int \log f_n d \mu=\int…

We consider partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms $f$ with a one-dimensional central direction such that the unstable entropy exceeds the stable entropy. Our main result proves that such maps have a finite number of ergodic measures of…

Let $T$ be an ergodic measure-preserving transformation on a non-atomic probability space $(X,\Sigma,\mu)$. We prove uniform extensions of the Wiener-Wintner theorem in two settings: For averages involving weights coming from Hardy field…

We prove that there is a residual subset $\mathcal{S}$ in $\text{Diff}^1(M)$ such that, for every $f\in \mathcal{S}$, any homoclinic class of $f$ with invariant one dimensional central bundle containing saddles of different indices (i.e.…

Given a compact topological dynamical system (X, f) with positive entropy and upper semi-continuous entropy map, and any closed invariant subset $Y \subset X$ with positive entropy, we show that there exists a continuous roof function such…

If $G$ is a locally compact groupoid with a Haar system $\lambda$, then a positive definite function $p$ on $G$ has a form $p(x)=< L(x)\xi(d(x)),\xi(r(x))>$, where $L$ is a representation of $G$ on a Hilbert bundle ${\h}=(G^0,\{H_u\},\mu)$,…

Let $G$ be an infinite discrete countable group and $(X,G)$ be a minimal $G$-system. In this paper, we prove the supremum of topological sequence entropy of $(X,G)$ is not less than $\log(\sum_{\mu\in\mathcal{M}^e(X,G)}e^{h_\mu^*(X,G)})$.…

This paper studies maximisation of an average-cost-per-unit-time ergodic functional over impulse strategies controlling a Feller-Markov process. The uncontrolled process is assumed to be ergodic but, unlike the extant literature, the…

Let $f$ be a $C^r$ surface diffeomorphism with large entropy (more precisely, $h_{\rm top}(f)>\lambda_{\min}(f)/{r}$). Then the number of ergodic measures of maximal entropy is upper semicontinuous at $f$. This generalizes the $C^\infty$…
