In mathematics, ergodicity expresses the idea that a point of a moving system, either a dynamical system or a stochastic process, will eventually visit all parts of the space that the system moves in, in a uniform and random sense. This implies that the average behavior of the system can be deduced from the trajectory of a "typical" point. Equivalently, a sufficiently large collection of random samples from a process can represent the average statistical properties of the entire process. Ergodicity is a property of the system; it is a statement that the system cannot be reduced or factored into smaller components. Ergodic theory is the study of systems possessing ergodicity.

In mathematics , especially in ergodic theory , ergodicity is a way of saying that a dynamical system behaves as one indivisible statistical system, rather than being composed of statistically distinguishable subsystems. More precisely, a measure-preserving dynamical system is ergodic if every invariant measurable set has either measure zero or full measure. Equivalently, the system cannot be decom
