A class of nonergodic Lotka-Volterra operators

On the basis of some numerical calculations, Ulam has conjectured that the ergodic theorem holds for any quadratic stochastic operator acting on a finite-dimensional simplex. However, Zakharevich showed that Ulam’s conjecture is false in general. Later, Ganikhodzhaev and Zanin generalized Zakharevich’s example to the class of quadratic stochastic Volterra operators acting on a 2D simplex. In this paper, we provide a class of nonergodic Lotka-Volterra operators which includes all previous operators used in this context.
