On Ulam approximation of the isolated spectrum and eigenfunctions of hyperbolic maps (Q2372666)

The authors explains some of the numerically observed behaviour by constructing a hyperbolic map with a Perron-Frobenius operator whose eigendecomposition is representative of numerical calculations for hyperbolic systems. The main result include an explicit construction of an eigenfunction associated to an isolated eigenvalue and a proof that confims that a special form of the Ulam method well approximates the isolated spectrum and eigenfunctions of this map.
