Let ℝ+ denote the non-negative half of the real line, and let λ denote Lebesgue measure on the Borel sets of ℝn. A function φ: ℝn → ℝ+ is called a weight function if ʃℝn φ dλ = 1. Let (X, ℱ, μ) be a non-atomic, finite measure space, let ƒ: X → ℝ+, and suppose { Tν}ν∊ℝn is an ergodic, aperiodic ℝn-flow on X. We consider the weighted ergodic averages where is a sequence of weight functions. Sufficient as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for the pointwise, almost-everywhere convergence of are developed for a particular class of weight functions φk. Specifically, let {τk: ℝn → ℝn} be a sequence of measurable, non-singular maps with measurable, non-singular inverses such that the Radon-Nikodym derivatives dλ oτk /dλ and dλ oτk-1 / dλ are L∞ (ℝn), and such that τk and τ-1 map bounded sets to bounded sets. We examine convergence for the sequence where θk is an a.e.-convergent sequence of weight functions which are dominated by a fixed L1(ℝn) function with bounded support.
