The displacement scale S_m and its moments #
The tail bound on the displacement is stated at a random scale
S_m = δ^{-1/(1-γ)} 3^{Y_m(ε)},
where Y_m(ε) is the ℕ-valued scale of the chains-of-good-cubes estimate and
δ ∈ (0, 1] is the separation parameter of the argument. The scale is a
genuine positive real at every sample: Y is ℕ-valued, so 3^{Y} is a
natural power of three and no fallback value is involved.
The moment bound is one integration of the tail of Y. If
P[Y ≥ N] ≤ exp(-a 3^N) for N ≥ 1,
then, for every exponent p with 2 p log 3 ≤ a,
E[S_m^p] ≤ (δ^{-1/(1-γ)} (1 - e^{-a/2})^{-1})^p,
so E[S_m^p]^{1/p} is bounded by a constant. The two steps are: the summand
3^{pN} exp(-a 3^N) is at most exp(-aN/2) because 3^N ≥ N, and the
resulting geometric series is summed. The admissible exponents are exactly
those below a / (2 log 3): with the rate a = c ε² γ^{-1} |log γ|^{-6} of the
chains estimate this is (c ε² / (2 log 3)) γ^{-1} |log γ|^{-6}, the shape the
source uses.
The constants of the bound are uniform over the model: ε is bounded below by
C γ^{1/2} |log γ|^{7/2}, which makes the rate at least c C² |log γ|, and
γ ≤ 1/4 makes δ^{-1/(1-γ)} at most δ^{-4/3}.
The admissible exponents are nonempty only when the rate exceeds 2 log 3, and
at the bottom ε = C γ^{1/2}|log γ|^{7/2} of the accuracy range the rate is
c C² |log γ|, whose size is governed by constants that nothing here pins. The
way out is the top of the range: at ε = 1/4 the rate is
(c/16) γ^{-1}|log γ|^{-6}, which is large for small γ. The last section
makes that quantitative, with an explicit threshold γ_1(c, C) below which
ε = 1/4 is an admissible accuracy and the exponent p = 1 is admissible with
it.

The displacement scale S_m = δ^{-1/(1-γ)} 3^{Y_m(ε)}, as a function of
the value N of Y_m(ε).
Equations
Instances For
The scale is a genuine positive real, at every value of Y.
The scale is a measurable function of the sample whenever Y is.
2. The integration of the tail #
The integration of the tail. An ℕ-valued variable whose tail decays
like exp(-a 3^N) from N = 1 on has E[3^{pY}] ≤ (1 - e^{-a/2})^{-1} at every
exponent p with 2 p log 3 ≤ a.
