Abstract. Let S be an abelian finitely generated semigroup of endomorphisms of a probability space (Ω,A, μ), with (T1, ..., Td) a system of generators in S. Given an increasing sequence of domains (Dn) ⊂ N, a question is the convergence in distribution of the normalized sequence |Dn| 12 ∑ k∈Dn f ◦ T , or normalized sequences of iterates of barycenters Pf = ∑ j pjf ◦ Tj, where T k = T k1 1 ...T ...

The central limit theorem (CLT) for stationary ergodic Markov chains is investigated. We give a short survey of related results on the CLT for general (not necessarily Harris recurrent) chains and formulate a new sufficient condition for its validity. Furthermore, Markov operators are considered which admit invariant orthogonal splittings of the space of square-integrable functions. We show how...

This paper introduces new invariants for multiparameter dynamical systems. This is done by counting the number of points whose orbits intersect at time n under simultaneous iteration of finitely many endomorphisms. We call these points synchronization points. The resulting sequences of counts together with generating functions and growth rates are subsequently investigated for homeomorphisms of...

We prove a theorem on structural stability of smooth attractor-repellor endomorphisms of compact manifolds, with singularities. By attractor-repellor, we mean that the non-wandering set of the dynamics f is the disjoint union of a repulsive compact subset with a hyperbolic attractor on which f acts bijectively. The statement of this result is both infinitesimal and dynamical. Up to our knowledg...

This paper investigates the problem of finding the possible sequences of periodic point counts for endomorphisms of solenoids. For an ergodic epimorphism of a solenoid, a closed formula is given which expresses the number of points of any given period in terms of sets of places of finitely many algebraic number fields and distinguished elements of those fields. The result extends to more genera...

Let X be a non-locally convex F-space (complete metric linear space) whose dual X' separates the points of X. Then it is known that X possesses a closed subspace N which fails to be weakly closed (see [3]), or, equivalently, such that the quotient space XIN does not have a point separating dual. However the question has also been raised by Duren, Romberg and Shields [2] of whether X possesses a...

We describe an implementation of fast elliptic curve scalar multiplication, optimized for Diffie–Hellman Key Exchange at the 128-bit security level. The algorithms are compact (using only x-coordinates), run in constant time with uniform execution patterns, and do not distinguish between the curve and its quadratic twist; they thus have a built-in measure of sidechannel resistance. The core of ...
