Natural Invariant

Let rho(x)dx be the fraction of time a typical dynamical map orbit spends in the interval [x,x+dx], and let rho(x) be normalized such that

over the entire interval of the map. Then the fraction the time an map orbit spends in a finite interval [a,b], is given by

The natural invariant is also called the invariant density or natural density.
