Abstract. We consider the map T α,β (x) := βx + α mod 1, which admits a unique probability measure of maximal entropy µ α,β . For x ∈ [0, 1], we show that the orbit of x is µ α,β -normal for almost all (α, β) ∈ [0, 1) × (1, ∞) (Lebesgue measure). Nevertheless we construct analytic curves in [0, 1) × (1, ∞) along them the orbit of x = 0 is at most at one point µ α,β -normal. These curves are disjoint and they fill the set [0, 1) × (1, ∞). We also study the generalized β-transformations (in particular the tent map). We show that the critical orbit x = 1 is normal with respect to the measure of maximal entropy for almost all β.
IntroductionIn this paper, we consider a dynamical system (X, d, T ) where (X, d) is a compact metric space endowed with its Borel σ-algebra B and T : X → X is a measurable map. Let C(X) denote the set of all continuous functions from X into R. The set M (X) of all Borel probability measures is equipped with the weak * -topology.is the subset of all T -invariant probability measures. For µ ∈ M (X, T ), let h(µ) denote the measure-theoretic entropy of µ. For all x ∈ X and n ≥ 1, the empirical measure of order n at x iswhere δ x is the Dirac mass at x. Let V T (x) ⊂ M (X, T ) denote the set of all cluster points of {E n (x)} n≥1 in the weak * -topology.Prepared using etds.cls [Version: 1999/07/21 v1.0]
