Higher order return times for $\phi$-mixing measures

Probability 2025-10-17 v1 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

In this paper we consider ϕ\phi-mixing measures and show that the limiting return times distribution is compound Poisson distribution as the target sets shrink to a zero measure set. The approach we use generalises a method given by Galves and Schmitt in 1997 for the first entry time to higher orders.
