relating to or characteristic of ergodic theory, which studies the long-term probabilistic behavior of dynamical systems, especially those that are mixing and have a tendency to equalize the distribution of their states over time.

“The mathematician’s work on ergodic theory led to a better understanding of chaotic systems in physics.”

2. noun
