Markov decompositions of the Łukasiewicz walk (B05) #
Source lines 806–824 (Markov property at ζ in the proof of Corollary cor:cyclicshift) and
1740–1772 (Markov property at a deterministic time and at ζ = j, proof of Lemma lem:pnqn).
Write (X_1, …, X_{m+k}) as the first block (X_1, …, X_m) and the fresh block
(X_{m+1}, …, X_{m+k}); these are independent (walkVecLaw_map_split).
Cyclic.walkVecLaw_zeta_eq_inter: first-tree stopping time and fresh increments afterζ. The event{ζ = m, T(𝐗) ∈ A}depends only on the firstmincrements, has probabilityP(𝒯 ∈ A, |𝒯| = m), and is independent of the increments after timem:P(ζ = m, T(𝐗) ∈ A, (X_{m+1}, …, X_{m+k}) ∈ B) = P(𝒯 ∈ A, |𝒯| = m) P((X_1, …, X_k) ∈ B).Cyclic.walkVecLaw_firstIndicator_eq:P(I_1^{(M)}(X_1, …, X_n) = 1) = P(G(𝒯) = 1, |𝒯| ≤ M)forM ≤ n(countable decomposition according toζ = j ≤ M).Cyclic.walkVecLaw_firstIndicator_inter_sum: Markov property at the deterministic timeM.P(I_1^{(M)} = 1, S_{M+k} = i) = E[I_1^{(M)} Ψ_k(i - S_M)]; withi = -1andn = M + kthis is the formulaP(I_1^{(M)} = 1, S_n = -1) = E[I_1^{(M)} Ψ_{n-M}(-1 - S_M)]of source line 1745.
(x_1, …, x_{m+k}) = (x_1, …, x_m) (x_{m+1}, …, x_{m+k}) as lists.
If ζ(𝐱) = |𝐱|, then T(𝐱 𝐲) = T(𝐱).
B05: first-tree stopping time and fresh increments after ζ. The event
{ζ = m, T(𝐗) ∈ A} is determined by (X_1, …, X_m), has probability P(𝒯 ∈ A, |𝒯| = m), and the
increments (X_{m+1}, …, X_{m+k}) after time ζ = m are independent of it with the law of
(X_1, …, X_k).
p = P(I_1^{(M)}(X_1, …, X_n) = 1) = P(G(𝒯) = 1, |𝒯| ≤ M) for M ≤ n: decompose according
to the value j ≤ M of ζ.
