Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to introduce the fundamental notions of ergodic theory, through the study of a few examples of symbolic dynamical systems.
To improve lisibility, some of the definitions and propositions stated in Chap. 1 are repeated in the present chapter.
In the course of this chapter, we shall use at some points notions of measure theory and spectral theory; when there is no explanation in the text, the reader is referred to any standard book, such as [122] and [340]; however, we have tried to isolate these places, and the reader can skip them without damage to his general understanding.
Keywords
- Ergodic Theorem
- Spectral Type
- Invariant Probability Measure
- Fibonacci Sequence
- Unique Ergodicity
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
