Demeter, Ciprian

Canadian journal of mathematics, Tome 56 (2004) no. 3, pp. 449-471

Résumé

We introduce a new device of measuring the degree of the failure of convergence in the ergodic theorem along subsequences of integers. Relations with other types of bad behavior in ergodic theory and applications to weighted averages are also discussed.
