We establish sharp estimates for the convergence rate of the Kranosel'ski\v{\i}-Mann fixed point iteration in general normed spaces, and we use them to show that the asymptotic regularity bound recently proved in [11] (Israel Journal of…

In this paper, several fundamental facts, especially the existence and uniqueness of an absolutely continuous ergodic measure with an exponential mixing rate, are derived for smooth expanding circle maps. Although the results are classical,…

We consider a class of doubly intermittent maps with critical points, unbounded derivative and regularly varying tails. Under some mild assumptions we prove the existence of a unique mixing absolutely continuous invariant measure and give…

We consider expanding systems with invariant measures that are uniformly expanding everywhere except on a small measure set and show that the limiting statistics of hitting times for zero measure sets are compound Poisson provided the…

This paper concerns the estimation of sums of functions of observable and unobservable variables. Lower bounds for the asymptotic variance and a convolution theorem are derived in general finite- and infinite-dimensional models. An explicit…

In this paper, we study mixed power-exponential moment functionals of nonlinearly perturbed semi-Markov processes in discrete time. Conditions under which the moment functionals of interest can be expanded in asymptotic power series with…

Bobkov (J. Theoret. Probab. 18(2) (2005) 399-412) investigated an approximate de Finetti representation for probability measures, on product measurable spaces, which are symmetric under permutations of coordinates. One of the main results…

We study the property of global-local mixing for full-branched expanding maps of either the half-line or the interval, with one indifferent fixed point. Global-local mixing expresses the decorrelation of global vs local observables w.r.t.…

For a non-generic, yet dense subset of $C^1$ expanding Markov maps of the interval we prove the existence of uncountably many Lyapunov optimizing measures which are ergodic, fully supported and have positive entropy. These measures are…

We prove that the entropy map for countable Markov shifts of finite entropy is upper semi-continuous at ergodic measures. Note that the phase space is non-compact. Applications to systems that can be coded by these shifts, such as positive…

We develop a new approach to recurrence and the existence of non-constant harmonic functions on infinite weighted graphs. The approach is based on the capacity of subsets of metric boundaries with respect to intrinsic metrics. The main tool…

We investigate regularity properties of generalized conjugate functions induced by a general coupling function and the associated generalized proximal mapping. Our main results provide verifiable conditions ensuring local single-valuedness,…

For a map of the unit interval with an indifferent fixed point, we prove an upper bound for the variance of all observables of $n$ variables $K:[0,1]^n\to\R$ which are componentwise Lipschitz. The proof is based on coupling and decay of…

We introduce "logically contractive mappings" nonexpansive self-maps that contract along a subsequence of iterates and prove a fixed-point theorem that extends Banach's principle. We obtain event-indexed convergence rates and, under bounded…

We investigate limit theorems for Birkhoff sums of locally H\"older functions under the iteration of Gibbs-Markov maps. Aaronson and Denker have given sufficient conditions to have limit theorems in this setting. We show that these…

The first aims of this work are to endorse the advent of finitely additive set functions as equilibrium states and the possibility to replace the metric entropy by an upper semi-continuous map associated to a general variational principle.…

We study multifractal decompositions based on Birkhoff averages for sequences of functions belonging to certain classes of symbolically continuous functions. We do this for an expanding interval map with countably many branches, which we…

We prove that return time statistics of a dynamical system do not change if one passes to an induced (i.e. first return) map. We apply this to show exponential return time statistics in i) smooth interval maps with nowhere-dense critical…

We investigate the limit behaviour of the spectral measures of matrices following the Gibbs measure for the Ising model on random graphs, Potts model on random graphs, matrices coupled in a chain model or induced QCD model. For most of…

We study when Fourier transforms of Gibbs measures of sufficiently nonlinear expanding Markov maps decay at infinity at a polynomial rate. Assuming finite Lyapunov exponent, we reduce this to a nonlinearity assumption, which we verify for…
