Distributions of time averages for weakly chaotic systems: the role of infinite invariant density
1School of Natural Sciences, University of California, Merced, California 95343, USA.
Abstract:
Distributions of time averaged observables are investigated using deterministic maps with N indifferent fixed points and N-state continuous time random walk processes associated with them. In a weakly chaotic phase, namely when separation of trajectories is subexponential, maps are characterized by an infinite invariant density. We find that the infinite density can be used to calculate the distribution of time averages of integrable observables with a formula recently obtained by Rebenshtok and Barkai. As an example we calculate distributions of the average position of the particle and average occupation fractions. Our work provides the distributional limit theorem for time averages for a wide class of nonintegrable observables with respect to the infinite invariant density, in other words it deals with the situation where the Darling-Kac-Aaronson theorem does not hold.
