A quantitative multiparameter mean ergodic theorem (Q2237255)

The main result of the paper is a quantitative version of the following generalization of the von Neumann mean ergodic theorem [\textit{N. Dunford}, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 25, 195--196 (1939; Zbl 0021.23602)]: Theorem. Let \(X\) be a uniformly convex Banach space, \(d \geq 1\) and \(T_1,\ldots,T_d: X \to X\) be commuting nonexpansive linear operators. Then for any \(x \in X\), the sequence \((x_n)_{n\in{\mathbb N}}\) defined by \[x_n := \frac1{(n+1)^d} \sum_{k_1=0}^n\ldots\sum_{k_d=0}^n T_1^{k_1}\ldots T_d^{k_d}x\] is convergent. This quantitative version, providing uniform effective rates of metastability (in the sense of \textit{T. Tao} [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 28, No. 2, 657--688 (2008; Zbl 1181.37004)]) for \((x_n)\), is obtained using methods of proof mining, a field of applied proof theory. Effective rates of metastability were computed previously, also by proof mining methods for \(d=1\), hence for ergodic averages in the setting of Hilbert spaces in [\textit{J. Avigad} et al., Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 362, No. 1, 261--288 (2010; Zbl 1187.37010)] and for uniformly convex normed spaces in [\textit{U. Kohlenbach} and the reviewer, Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 29, No. 6, 1907--1915 (2009; Zbl 1190.37005)].
