Abstract
Asymptotically mean stationary (AMS) sources (probability measures) and channels are considered as an extension of stationary sources and channels. It is shown that each extreme
point of the set of all AMS sources is ergodic, but not vice versa, and that each extreme point in the set of all AMS channels is ergodic, but not vice versa.
