Maximal ergodic theorem

Maximal ergodic theorem The maximal ergodic theorem is a theorem in ergodic theory, a discipline within mathematics.

Suppose that {displaystyle (X,{mathcal {B}},mu )} is a probability space, that {displaystyle T:Xto X} is a (possibly noninvertible) measure-preserving transformation, and that {displaystyle fin L^{1}(mu ,mathbb {R} )} . Define {displaystyle f^{*}} by {displaystyle f^{*}=sup _{Ngeq 1}{frac {1}{N}}sum _{i=0}^{N-1}fcirc T^{i}.} Then the maximal ergodic theorem states that {displaystyle int _{f^{*}>lambda }f,dmu geq lambda cdot mu {f^{*}>lambda }} for any λ ∈ R.

This theorem is used to prove the point-wise ergodic theorem.
