We give minimax characterizations of maximum ergodic averages involving time averages. Our approach works for the abstract variational principle of generalized pressure functions which is proved by Bi\\'{s} et al. (2022). We also describe the relationship between our minimax results and the Fenchel-Rockafellar duality.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-11-26T17:27:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37A05", "37A50" ], "keywords": [ "ergodic theory", "minimax approach", "study optimization problems", "maximum ergodic averages", "abstract variational principle" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
