Synopsis

A general ergodic theorem is proved for semi-group operators on B-space X. In particular X may be a Lebesgue space Lp(S, Σ, μ) where (S, Σ, μ) is a positive measure space.

The discussion is based on the theory of semi-groups as developed by Hille [6] and results in the theory of product measures [3]. The reader need only be familiar with the basic concepts of these theories, as all pertinent results used in this note are proved as they are needed.
