An interval map is said to have an asymptotic measure if the time averages of the iterates of Lebesgue measure converge weakly. We construct quadratic maps which have no asymptotic measure. We also find examples of quadratic maps which have an asymptotic measure with very unexpected properties, e.g. a map with the point mass on an unstable fix point as asymptotic measure. The key to our construction is a new characterization of kneading sequences.
Abstract.In this paper equilibrium states on shift spaces are considered. A uniqueness theorem for equilibrium states is proved. Then we study a particular class of continuous functions. We characterize the functions of this class which satisfy Ruelle's Perron-Frobenius condition, those which admit a measure determined by a homogeneity condition, and those which have unique equilibrium state. In particular, we get examples for the nonuniqueness of the equilibrium state.
We consider a piecewise monotonie and piecewise continuous map T on the interval. If T has a derivative of bounded variation, we show for an ergodic invariant measure μ with positive Ljapunov exponent λμ that the Hausdorff dimension of μ equals hμ / λμ.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
