In particular, it studies a subset of the general problem, taking some approaches that have, up till now, only appeared largely in the Chinese literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEigenvalues, Inequalities and Ergodic Theory\u003c\/strong\u003e serves as an introduction to this developing field, and provides an overview of the methods used in an accessible and concise manner. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter starts with a summary and, in order to appeal to non-specialists, ideas are introduced through simple examples rather than technical proofs.
