[edit]

Micheal,

You added a link to Gauss map but the gauss map in this article is unrelated to the one that is linked to. What is the appropriate thing to do?

Let me rephrase that: I'm not sure that disambiguating Gauss map is worth it right now. It makes sense only if/when an article on GKW is written. (I suppose the right name for this is the Gauss Kuzmin Wirsing map,maybe)

Example?

[edit]

I'm wondering if there should be an example of the creation of this operator here, so people can understand it better. --204.56.135.2 (talk) 17:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This page is pretty much all over the place. A disparate, grab-bag. It needs filling out/rewriting. Sorry to complain. 84.226.214.17 (talk) 20:53, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sentence needs rewriting

[edit]

The last paragraph of the Applications section begins with this sentence:

"The transfer operator of the Gauss map is called the Gauss–Kuzmin–Wirsing (GKW) operator and due to its extraordinary difficulty, has not been fully solved."

There is no meaning in mathematics that attaches to "solving" an operator, so it is entirely unclear what this sentence is trying to convey.

I hope someone knowledgeable on the subject can rewrite this so that it has a clear meaning. 2601:200:C000:1A0:84:5053:5F05:8298 (talk) 02:26, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
