Abstract

A theorem of Ku\(\mathrm{\check{c}}\)era states that given a Martin-Löf random infinite binary sequence ω and an effectively open set A of measure less than 1, some tail of ω is not in A. We show that this result can be seen as an effective version of Birkhoff’s ergodic theorem (in a special case). We prove several results in the same spirit and generalize them via an effective ergodic theorem for bijective ergodic maps.
