Abstract

Let T be a positive L₁-L contraction. We prove that the following statements are equivalent in constructive mathematics.

  • 1. The projection in L₂ on the space of invariant functions exists;
  • 2. The sequence (Tⁿ)n ∈ N Cesáro-converges in the L₂ norm;
  • 3. The sequence (Tⁿ)n ∈ N Cesáro-converges almost everywhere.
Thus, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the Mean Ergodic Theorem and the Dunford-Schwartz Pointwise Ergodic Theorem.

As a corollary we obtain a constructive ergodic theorem for ergodic measure-preserving transformations. This answers a question posed by Bishop.
