Almost Sure Central Limit Theorems and the Erdos-Renyi law for Expanding Maps of the Interval
For a large class of expanding maps of the interval, we prove that partial sums of Lipschitz observables satisfy an almost sure central limit theorem (ASCLT). In fact, we provide a speed of convergence in the Kantorovich metric. Maxima of partial sums are also shown to obey an ASCLT. The key-tool is an exponential inequality recently obtained. Then we derive almost-sure convergence rates for the supremum of moving averages of Lipschitz observables (Erdos-Renyi type law). We end up with an application to entropy estimation ASCLT's that refi ne Shannon-McMillan-Breiman and Ornstein-Weiss theorems.
