If is an endomorphism of a measure space , if and if is the set of for which

then

The maximal ergodic theorem is due to K. Yosida and S. Kakutani [1], who showed that it can play a central role in the proof of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem (G.D. Birkhoff himself, instead of the maximal ergodic theorem, used somewhat different arguments). In later proofs of generalizations of Birkhoff's theorem (and also in related questions on the decomposition of the phase space into conservative and dissipative parts under conditions such that these generalizations make sense) a generalized maximal ergodic theorem is used in a similar way. There is a generalization of the maximal ergodic theorem due to E. Hopf and a simple proof of this generalization was given by A. García (see [2]). See also [3] and the references in Birkhoff ergodic theorem.

A variety of ergodic theorems (including historical remarks) can be found in [a1].
