Abstract

In this paper, we exhibit, for any sparse-enough increasing sequence {pn} of integers, totally minimal, totally uniquely ergodic, and topologically mixing systems (X,T) and (X′,T′) and fC(X) for which the averages fail to converge on a residual set in X, and where there exists x′X′ with .
