On pointwise ergodic theorems for positive operators

Ergodic Theorems for Stochastic Operators and Discrete Event Networks

We present a survey of the main ergodic theory techniques which are used in the study of iterates of monotone and homogeneous stochastic operators. It is shown that ergodic theorems on discrete event networks (queueing networks and/or Petri nets) are a generalization of these stochastic operator theorems. Kingman's subadditive ergodic Theorem is the key tool for deriving what we call rst order ...

Mean Ergodic Theorems for C0 Semigroups of Continuous Linear Operators

In this paper we obtained mean ergodic theorems for semigroups of bounded linear or continuous affine linear operators on a Banach space under non-power bounded conditions. We then apply them to the wave equation and the system of elasticity to show that the mean of their solutions converges to their equilibriums.

Pointwise Theorems for Amenable Groups

In this paper we describe proofs of the pointwise ergodic theorem and Shannon-McMillan-Breiman theorem for discrete amenable groups, along Følner sequences that obey some restrictions. These restrictions are mild enough so that such sequences exist for all amenable groups.

Non-linear ergodic theorems in complete non-positive curvature metric spaces

Hadamard (or complete $CAT(0)$) spaces are complete, non-positive curvature, metric spaces. Here, we prove a nonlinear ergodic theorem for continuous non-expansive semigroup in these spaces as well as a strong convergence theorem for the commutative case. Our results extend the standard non-linear ergodic theorems for non-expansive maps on real Hilbert spaces, to non-expansive maps on Ha...
