Ergodic Theory
by Karl E. Petersen · Karl E. Petersen
A Cambridge monograph presenting measure-theoretic ergodic theory, from the ergodic theorems and mixing properties to entropy, isomorphism theory, and Kakutani equivalence. Readers develop a rigorous understanding of how invariant measures classify the long-term behavior of transformations.
