... We study ergodic properties of random maps defined as collections of nonsingular maps $f_1,\dots,f_w$ from a compact metric space $(X,\rho)$ into itself taken with probabilities $p_1,\dots,p_w$ ($\sum_i^wp_i=1$) and considered as Markov processes on $X$. ... In the first situation, when the random map is expanding on average, we mainly follow ideas borrowed from the theory of piecewise expanding maps and the corresponding Banach space is a version of the space of functions of bounded variation on $X...

Authors: Yu.G. Shevelev , V.A. Marsakov , . ... We have constructed and investigated properties of metallicity function of disk stars with different ages, proceeding from the statistically restored real altitude distributions of stars at the solar galactocentric distance. It is shown that the metallicity distribution of stars in each age range is not of Gaussian form, but it may be considered as a superposition of two normal distributions centered at -0.2 and 0.0 dex. ...
