Abstract

Let T be a transformation from I = [0, 1) onto itself and let Q n(x) be the subinterval [i/2n, (i+1)/2n), 0 ≤ i ≤ 2n containing x. Define Kn(x) = min{j ≥ 1: Tj(x) ∈ Qn(x)} and Kn(x, y) = min{j ≥ 1: Tj-1(y) ∈ Qn(x)}. For various transformations defined on I, we show that limn→∞ log Kn(x)/n = 1 and limn→∞log Kn(x, y)/n = 1 a.e.
