Review text

This paper studies the hitting time (also called return time) for a particular ergodic dynamical system, the Baker's map. Hitting times are first calculated with a specified target. Then a small control is added which improves the average hitting time. The prerequisites on ergodic theory are recalled. In particular, a proof of the following classical result is given: the average hitting time depends only on the measure of the target, not on its location. The paper ends with the following question: does the average hitting time with global control still depend only on the effective size and not on the location of the target set? For the entire collection see [Zbl 0866.00065].
