Measurable Partition and Ergodic Decomposition

I need some background before asking the question: Let $\mathcal{P}$ is called a measurable partition if there is a measurable set $M_0\subset M$ with full probability measure such that, restric to ...

stationary and ergodic

Let $p\in \mathbb N$ and $a_1,\ldots,a_p\in \mathbb R $. Denote by $x$ the sequence $$x=(x_k)_{k\in\mathbb N }=(a_{k \bmod p})_{k\in\mathbb N }$$ where $(k \bmod p)\in{1,\ldots,p}$ is the remainder ...

Convergence of an Ergodic process

I'm having trouble working through the math of the problem below. I believe the problem as described is an ergodic process. I've written a simple simulation of the problem, that converges to 66.6...6% ...

convergence of entropy and sigma-fields

This question is related to this one. Let $(X_1, X_2, \ldots)$ be a sequence of random variables such that each $X_n$ takes its values in a finite space, say $\{0,1\}$, and the $\sigma$-field ...

Pinsker $\sigma$ Algebra

Let $(X,A,\nu)$ be a probability space and $T:X\to X$ a measure-preserving transformation. The Pinsker sigma algebra is defined as the lower sigma algebra that contains all partition P of measurable ...

The prime numbers do not satisfies Benford's law

A set of numbers is said to satisfy Benford's law if the leading digit d (d ∈ {1, ..., 9}) occurs with probability, $$ P(d)=\log_{10}(d+1)-\log_{10}d,$$ how do you prove that the prime numbers do ...

Generalization of Dobrushin's Ergodic Decomposition for continuous Markov Chains

Let $T$ be the shift transformation. Let $P$ be invariant for $T$ and also define a discrete state space Markov Chain. Let $C_{1},\ldots,C_{n}$ be the connected components of the Markov Chain. It ...

How follows the Strong Law of Large Numbers from Birkhoff's Ergodic Theorem?

We want to prove the strong law of large numbers with Birkhoff's ergodic theorem. Let $X_k$ be an i.i.d. sequence of $\mathcal{L}^1$ random variables. This is a stochastic process with ...

Does an uncountable intersection of sets with probability one also have probability one? ; in connection with the ergodic theorem

Let $(\Omega, {\cal F},P)$ be a complete probability space and $T$ a mesure-preserving transformation on $\Omega$ that is ergodic. The point-wise ergodic theorem states that for any $f\in L^1(P)$, ...

Manipulating ergodic Markov chains in order to make them non-ergodic

Consider a Markov chain, for simplicity let us consider time discrete chains. The problem We consider a TDMC (Time Discrete Markov Chain) $(X_t)_{t \geq 0}$ with $X \in \mathcal{X}$ (having ...
