الوصف: In this paper, we address the problem of finding the best ergodic or Birkhoff averages in the ergodic theorem to ensure rapid convergence to a desired value, using graph filters. Our approach begins by representing a function on the state space as a graph signal, where the (directed) graph is formed by the transition probabilities of a reversible Markov chain. We introduce a concept of graph variation, enabling the definition of the graph Fourier transform for graph signals on this directed graph. Viewing the iteration in the ergodic theorem as a graph filter, we recognize its non-optimality and propose three optimization problems aimed at determining optimal graph filters. These optimization problems yield the Bernstein, Chebyshev, and Legendre filters. Numerical testing reveals that while the Bernstein filter performs slightly better than the traditional ergodic average, the Chebyshev and Legendre filters significantly outperform the ergodic average, demonstrating rapid convergence to the desired value.
