Rather than using the classical unique ergodicity condition which is not fulfilled if $b$ vanishes at different points, we only assume that the set of the averages of $b$ with respect to the invariant probability measures for the flow is reduced to a singleton. We also rewrite the Liouville theorem which holds for any invariant probability measure $\\mu$, namely $\\mu\\,b$ is divergence free, as a divergence-curl formula satisfied by any regular periodic function. The combination of these two tools turns out to be a new approach to get the asymptotics for some flows. This allows us to obtain the desired asymptotics in any dimension when $b = a\\,\\xi$ with $a$ a possibly vanishing periodic nonnegative function and $\\xi$ a nonzero vector in $R^d$, or when $b = A\\nabla v$ with $A$ a periodic nonnegative symmetric matrix-valued function and $v$ a periodic function.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-19T14:22:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dynamical system", "asymptotics", "nonnegative symmetric matrix-valued function", "vanishing periodic nonnegative function", "invariant probability measure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
