with x(0)=I exist and are unique on the time interval t E [ 0, 1] for allTER\.Then discrete time system(4. 1)with f(5)=r(, i)describes the evolution of continuous time system(4.)at discrete time samples. In particular, if a is continuous then so is f Let us call a point in the closure of X locally attractive for system(4. 1)if there exists
Ch. 4 Asymptotic Theory From the discussion of last Chapter it is obvious that determining the dis- tribution of h(X1, X2, . . Xr) is by no means a trival exercise. It turns out that more often than not we cannot determine the distribution exactly. Because of the importance of the problem, however, we are forced to develop approximations the subject of this Chapter
