We discuss conditions on the dynamical system under which (a) every ergodic net contains a convergent subsequence; (b) all ergodic nets converge; (c) all ergodic sequences converge. We study the relationships between the convergence of ergodic means and the properties of transitivity of the proximality relation on $\\Omega$, minimality of supports of ergodic measures, and uniqueness of minimal sets in the closure of trajectories of a semicascade. These problems are solved in terms of three algebraic-topological objects associated with the dynamical system: the Ellis enveloping semigroup, the K\\\"{o}hler operator semigroup $\\Gamma $, and the semigroup $G$ that is the weak$^{*} $ closure of the convex hull of $\\Gamma $ in ${\\rm End}\\, C^{*} (\\Omega)$. The main results are stated for ordinary semicascades (whose Ellis semigroup is metrizable) and tame semicascades. For a dynamics, being ordinary is equivalent to being \"nonchaotic\" in an appropriate sense. We present a classification of compact dynamical systems in terms of topological properties of the above-mentioned semigroups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-09-24T18:33:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37A30", "20M20" ], "keywords": [ "discrete dynamical systems", "enveloping semigroup", "ergodic properties", "semicascade", "generalized operator ergodic means" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1309.6283R" } } }
