Questions

Question 1 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is an ergodic measure?

  1. A measure that is invariant under all measure-preserving transformations.
  2. A measure that is concentrated on a single point.
  3. A measure that is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure.
  4. A measure that is singular with respect to Lebesgue measure.
Question 2 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem?

  1. A theorem that states that the time average of a function along a trajectory of a dynamical system is equal to the spatial average of the function.
