Description for Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems: 2017
Paperback. .
This textbook is a self-contained and easy-to-read introduction to ergodic theory and the theory of dynamical systems, with a particular emphasis on chaotic dynamics. This book contains a broad selection of topics and explores the fundamental ideas of the subject. Starting with basic notions such as ergodicity, mixing, and isomorphisms of dynamical systems, the book then focuses on several chaotic transformations with hyperbolic dynamics, before moving on to topics such as entropy, information theory, ergodic decomposition and measurable partitions. Detailed explanations are accompanied by numerous examples, including interval maps, Bernoulli shifts, toral endomorphisms, geodesic flow on negatively curved manifolds, Morse-Smale ... Read more

Reviews for Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems: 2017
This textbook is addressed to graduate students as well as to researchers who are not experts in ergodic theory and theory of dynamical systems. For an introduction to the subject it is a very good modern source. (Ivan Podvigin, zbMATH, August, 2017) This 200-page book covers most relevant topics for a course in ergodic ... Read more
