Von Neumann Mean Ergodic Theorem in a Hilbert Space #

In this file we prove the von Neumann Mean Ergodic Theorem for an operator in a Hilbert space. It says that for a contracting linear self-map f : E โ†’โ‚—[๐•œ] E of a Hilbert space, the Birkhoff averages

birkhoffAverage ๐•œ f id N x = (N : ๐•œ)โปยน โ€ข โˆ‘ n in Finset.range N, f^[n] x

converge to the orthogonal projection of x to the subspace of fixed points of f, see ContinuousLinearMap.tendsto_birkhoffAverage_orthogonalProjection.

Von Neumann Mean Ergodic Theorem, a version for a normed space.

Let f : E โ†’ E be a contracting linear self-map of a normed space. Let S be the subspace of fixed points of f. Let g : E โ†’ S be a continuous linear projection, g|_S=id. If the range of f - id is dense in the kernel of g, then for each x, the Birkhoff averages

birkhoffAverage ๐•œ f id N x = (N : ๐•œ)โปยน โ€ข โˆ‘ n in Finset.range N, f^[n] x

converge to g x as N โ†’ โˆž.

Usually, this fact is not formulated as a separate lemma. I chose to do it in order to isolate parts of the proof that do not rely on the inner product space structure.
