Limiting entry and return times distribution for arbitrary null sets (Q778813): Difference between revisions

The authors describe how the limiting return times distribution for arbitrary sets reduce to the compound Poisson distribution, by using clusters, i.e., portions of points that have finite return times in the limit where random return times go to infinity. For periodic points, this is essentially the Pólya-Aeppli distribution, associated with geometrically distributed cluster sizes. Their method applies to synchronisation of coupled map lattices.
