Synopsis

2013 Reprint of 1956 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Ergodic theory is a branch of mathematics that studies dynamical systems with an invariant measure and related problems. Its initial development was motivated by problems of statistical physics. A central concern of ergodic theory is the behavior of a dynamical system when it is allowed to run for a long time. Paul Richard Halmos (1916 - 2006) was a Hungarian-born American mathematician who made fundamental advances in the areas of probability theory, statistics, operator theory, ergodic theory, and functional analysis (in particular, Hilbert spaces). He was also recognized as a great mathematical expositor.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This concise classic by a well-known master of mathematical exposition has served as a basic introduction to aspects of ergodic theory since its first publication in 1956. Topics include recurrence, ergodic theorems, ergodicity and mixing properties, and the relation between conjugacy and equivalence. "The material is organized very well and painlessly presented." -- Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society.
