In this study, an ergodic environment exploration problem is introduced for a centralized multi-agent system. Given the reference distribution represented by the Mixture of Gaussian (MoG), the ergodicity is achieved when the time-averaged…
We present a version of the stochastic maximum principle (SMP) for ergodic control problems. In particular we give necessary (and sufficient) conditions for optimality for controlled dissipative systems in finite dimensions. The strategy we…
Given a uniformly expanding transitive Markov interval map, we show that within the set of ergodic measures the set of nonadapted ergodic measures is residual in with respect to the topology induced by the $\overline{d}$-metric. This set of…
Ergodic exploration has spawned a lot of interest in mobile robotics due to its ability to design time trajectories that match desired spatial coverage statistics. However, current ergodic approaches are for continuous spaces, which require…
We study the statistics of the maximum and minimum of a set of $N$ random variables whose dynamical and statistical properties fall within the scope of infinite ergodic theory. These non-stationary yet recurrent systems are described, in…
Ergodic properties of rational maps are studied, generalising the work of F.\ Ledrappier. A new construction allows for simpler proofs of stronger results. Very general conformal measures are considered. Equivalent conditions are given for…
Algorithms and dynamics over networks often involve randomization, and randomization may result in oscillating dynamics which fail to converge in a deterministic sense. In this paper, we observe this undesired feature in three applications,…
The purpose of this paper is to study the time average behavior of Markov chains with transition probabilities being kernels of completely continuous operators, and therefore to provide a sufficient condition for a class of Markov chains…
In ergodic physical systems, time-averaged quantities converge (for large times) to their ensemble-averaged values. Large deviation theory describes rare events where these time averages differ significantly from the corresponding ensemble…
This article reviews a generous sampling of both classical and more recent results on the interplay between measurable and topological dynamics. In the first part we have surveyed the strong analogies between ergodic theory and topological…
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…
We prove essentially optimal $L^p(\mathbb{R})$-estimates for variational variants of the maximal Fourier multiplier operators considered by Bourgain in his work on pointwise convergence of polynomial ergodic averages. As a corollary of our…
Let $f:M\to M$ be a $C^{1+\epsilon}$-map on a smooth Riemannian manifold $M$ and let $\Lambda\subset M$ be a compact $f$-invariant locally maximal set. In this paper we obtain several results concerning the distribution of the periodic…
By building some suitable strictly ergodic models, we prove that for an ergodic system $(X,\mathcal{X},\mu, T)$, $d\in{\mathbb N}$, $f_1, \ldots, f_d \in L^{\infty}(\mu)$, the averages $$\frac{1}{N^2} \sum_{(n,m)\in [0,N-1]^2}…
The present paper is a follow up of another one by A. O. Lopes, E. Oliveira and P. Thieullen which analyze ergodic transport problems. Our main focus will a more precise analysis of case where the maximizing probability is unique and is…
In this manuscript, we consider finitely many maps, all of which are defined on a smooth compact measure space, with at least one map in the collection having degree strictly bigger than 1. Working with random dynamics generated by this…
We use techniques of proof mining to obtain a computable and uniform rate of metastability (in the sense of Tao) for the mean ergodic theorem for a finite number of commuting linear contractive operators on a uniformly convex Banach space.
In this paper, we study Random Dynamical Systems (RDSs) of homeomorphisms on the circle without a finite orbit. We characterize the topological dynamics of the associated semigroup by identifying the existence of invariant sets which are…
A major topic of (classical) ergodic theory is to examine qualitatively how the phase space of dynamical systems is penetrated by the orbits of their dynamics. We consider interacting qubit systems with dynamics according to 4-local…
For a Dunford-Schwartz operator in the $L^p-$space, $1\leq p< \infty$ , of an arbitrary measure space, we prove pointwise convergence of the conventional and Besicovitch weighted ergodic averages. Pointwise convergence of various types of…
