Ergodicity refers to a property of a dynamical system where the time average of a process equals its space average across the system's state space. In simpler terms, if you observe a system over a long period of time, the behavior will eventually represent all possible states proportionately. This concept is essential in understanding the long-term behavior of Markov chains, where it helps determine whether the system will converge to a stationary distribution regardless of its initial state.
congrats on reading the definition of Ergodicity. now let's actually learn it.
