Inverse shadowing and related measures

First, we introduce the so-called ergodic inverse shadowing property (Birkhoff averages of continuous functions along an exact trajectory and the approximating one are close). We demonstrate that this property implies the continuity of the set of invariant measures in the Hausdorff metric. We show that the...
