Ebook: Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems II: Proceedings Special Year, Maryland 1979–80

The second of two volumes, Ergodic Theory and
Dynamical Systems II concludes the results of the
"Special Year on Ergodic Theory" held at the
University of Maryland at College Park. Each volume
contains a series of lectures by well-known specialists
working in the areas of dynamical systems including
ergodic theory, smooth dynamical systems, classical
Hamiltonian mechanics, and their applications.
Among the topics discussed are ergodic theory of
frame flows, topological dynamics on the interval,
generic properties of continuous maps, and cross sec-
tion maps for geodesic flows. Pertinent background
information, as well as historical notes and bibliog-
raphies, is included.
