A Contraction Theorem for Markov Chains on General State Spaces
... We use Condition B in two ways. First of all, it allows us to use Chebychev’s inequality. Secondly it allows us to have control over f (Xn (x)) for n = 1, 2, ..., N0 − 1, where thus N0 is the integer in the definition of the GCMproperty. (See Definition 1.2.) From Condition C, follows that for every ...

Concerning your video, you are making a profound error, as I think you were doing in March. You are saying that to define the complex numbers we ...

... 1. (a) Assume that prime number p divides x16 + 1. Then p is of form 32k + 1. (b) Without using the general Dirichlet theorem or L-functions, prove that for any k there is infinite set of primes of form kn + 1. Solution. (a) Modulu p, the equation x16 = –1 has a solution. So, there is a remainder x ...

... which is the proportion predicted by Benford’s law. (Donald Knuth generalized Flehinger’s theorem to the distribution of the whole mantissa in 1981 [9].) In spite of its title, Flehinger’s article has no probabilistic content. A good reason is that there is no way of picking an integer uniformly at ...
