Abstract:
We address the inverse Frobenius-Perron problem: given a prescribed target distribution ρ, find a deterministic map M such that iterations of M tend to ρ in distribution. We show that all solutions may be written in terms of a factorization that combines the forward and inverse Rosenblatt transformations with a uniform map; that is, a map under which the uniform distribution on the d-dimensional hypercube is invariant. Indeed, every solution is equivalent to the choice of a uniform map. We motivate this factorization via one-dimensional examples, and then use the factorization to present solutions in one and two dimensions induced by a range of uniform maps.
