Abstract

Let Ta be the tent map with slope a. Let c be its turning point, and μa the absolutely continuous invariant probability measure. For an arbitrary, bounded, almost everywhere continuous function g, it is shown that for almost every a, ʃgdμa=limn1ni=0n-1g(Ti_a(c)). As a corollary, we deduce that the critical point of a quadratic map is generically not typical for its absolutely continuous invariant probability measure, if it exists.
