• 2:30pm - 3:30pm in MS.05 Max Thaler (Salzburg)
  On the iteration of the Perron-Frobenius operator of a class of interval maps preserving an infinite measure
  The standard approach to distributional limit theorems for interval maps with indifferent fixed points and infinite invariant measure requires the investigation of the asymptotics of \{\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} P^k\} where P is the associated Perron-Frobenius operator. This program has been carried through successfully for a large class of maps. A natural further step would be to investigate the asymptotics of the sequence \{P^n\} itself. According to the speakers knowledge no general results have been obtained on this subject so far. The purpose of the talk is to consider the problem for specific examples.
