We consider ”nonconventional” averaging setup in the form dX(t) dt = ǫB ` X(t), ξ(q1(t)), ξ(q2(t)), ..., ξ(ql(t)) ́ where ξ(t), t ≥ 0 is either a stochastic process or a dynamical system (i.e. then ξ(t) = F x) with sufficiently fast mixing while qj(t) = αjt, α1 < α2 < ... < αk and qj , j = k+1, ..., l grow faster than linearly. We show that the properly normalized error term in the ”nonconventio...

In this 2-part column, I will concisely review the evidence for nonconventional and integrative treatments for symptoms related to alcohol and drug abuse, dependence, and withdrawal. Part 1 covers nonconventional and integrative treatments, the beneficial effects of which are achieved through a discrete biologic or pharmacologic mechanism of action. These modalities include dietary modification...

The polynomial ergodic theorem (PET) which appeared in [1] and attracted substantial attention in ergodic theory studies the limits of expressions having the form 1/N ∑n=1 T q1(n) f1 · · ·T ql(n) fl where T is a weakly mixing measure preserving transformation, fi’s are bounded measurable functions and qi’s are polynomials taking on integer values on the integers. Motivated partially by this res...
