We consider the extent to which one can compute bounds on the rate of convergence of a sequence of ergodic averages. It is not difficult to construct an example of a computable Lebesgue-measure preserving transformation of [0, 1] and a characteristic function f = χA such that the ergodic averages Anf do not converge to a computable element of L2([0, 1]). In particular, there is no computable bo...

We study the asymptotic behaviour of points under matrix cocyles generated by rectangular matrices. In particular we prove a random Perron-Frobenius and a Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem. We also provide an example where such products of random rectangular matrices arise in the theory of random walks in random environments and where the Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem can be used to investigate r...

We study hierarchical properties of Sturmian words. These properties are similar to those of substitution dynamical systems. This approach allows one to carry over to Sturmian dynamical systems methods developed in the context of substitutions. For example, it allows for a proof of an ergodic type theorem for additive functions taking values in a Banach space. We then focus on establishing vari...

Isospectral theory of the Lax pairs of both 3D and 2D Euler equations of inviscid fluids is developed. Eigenfunctions are represented through an ergodic integral. The Koopman group and mean ergodic theorem are utilized. Further harmonic analysis results on the ergodic integral are introduced. The ergodic integral is a limit of the oscillatory integral of the first kind.
