Abstract

Let X be a compact metric space and C(X) be the space of all continuous functions on X. In this article, the authors
consider the Markov operator T:C(X)N → C(X)N defined by
Tf = (∑j=1Np1j fj ο w1j, …, ∑j=1N pNj fο wNj)
for any f =(f 1, f 2, …, f N), where (p ij) is a N × N transition probability matrix and {w ij} is an family of continuous transformations on X. The authors study the uniqueness, ergodicity and unidimensionality of T*-invariant measures where T* is the adjoint operator of T.
