Mixing (physics)



In physics, a dynamical system is said to be mixing if the phase space of the system becomes strongly intertwined, according to at least one of several mathematical definitions. For example, a measure-preserving transformation T is said to be strong mixing if

\lim_{k\rightarrow\infty} \, \mu(T^k(A) \cap B) = \mu(A) \cdot \mu(B)
