Suppose a transient nearest-neighbour jump chain on has uniformly bounded expected visits to each state and the holding rate at grows geometrically. Then
so the continuous-time chain explodes almost surely.

Conditional on a jump path , if , then the sum of exponential holding times has finite expectation and is finite almost surely.
Vertex-disjoint sparse clique copies Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
For , the expected number of pairs of copies sharing a vertex is
Thus, with probability tending to one, all the copies are vertex-disjoint. Together with sparse clique-count concentration, this gives arbitrarily many vertex-disjoint copies with probability tending to one.

The th de Rham cohomology group is the quotient of closed -forms by exact -forms.
Unit-modulus SV reflection with evanescent P conversion Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
When the converted P-wave is evanescent, its amplitude decays away from the boundary and the reflected SV amplitude has modulus one. The P field stores reactive energy near the boundary but carries zero mean normal power.
Euler-Poincare formula Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
For a finite simplicial complex , let count its -dimensional simplexes. Its Euler characteristic is
where is its rational Betti number.
Work over , so the chain groups, cycle modules and boundary modules are finite-dimensional vector spaces. Choosing vector-space complements gives . The boundary dimensions occur twice in the alternating sum, with opposite signs, and cancel. This proves the formula; it does not require splitting off possibly torsion integral homology as a direct summand of an integral cycle module. The rank cancellation in the Euler-Poincare formula gives the same argument without choosing complements.

Variance comparison for Poisson exposure estimators Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
The two variances are
Since by Cauchy-Schwarz, maximum likelihood has no larger variance, with equality when all positive exposures are equal.
Katona circle method Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-06
Katona's circle method places a finite ground set in a uniformly counted cyclic order, proves a bound for the members of a set family that appear as cyclic intervals, and double-counts pairs of a member and a compatible cyclic order.
Isomorphic grammar Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Two grammars over a common terminal alphabet are isomorphic when a bijection between their nonterminal alphabets maps one start symbol to the other and maps their productions bijectively after being extended to fix every terminal symbol. Isomorphic grammars are equivalent.
Minimax Gaussian Bayes classifier from equal class errors Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
For two distinct nonsingular Gaussian class distributions, vary the class-zero prior continuously. The class-zero and class-one error probabilities of the corresponding Bayes classifier cross. At a crossing they are equal, making the classifier an equalizer rule, a minimax decision rule, and the associated prior a least favorable prior.
