The Laplace integral method for a differential equation seeksDifferentiating under the integral and substituting intogivesSince $z{e}^{zt}={\partial }_t{e}^{zt}$, integration by parts yieldsIt is therefore enough to choose $f$ and $C$ so thatand the boundary term vanishes. Solving the first-order equation on $-1<t<1$ givesTake $C$ to be the interval $[-1,1]$. Although $f$ has integrable endpoint singularities,vanishes at both endpoints, so the boundary term is zero. ThusAt $z=0$, substituting $t=\sin \theta$ givesThe normalization $y(0)=1$ therefore sets $K=1/\pi$. By the defining regularity and normalization of the modified Bessel function, this proves the real integral representation of the modified Bessel function I0:

For a model with $k$ fitted parameters, the Akaike information criterion iswhere $\ell$ is the log-likelihood evaluated at the maximum-likelihood estimate.

In the normal linear model with known ${\sigma }^2$,The maximum-likelihood estimator is the ordinary least-squares estimator, with fitted mean $\hat{\mu }=HY$, whereSince only the $p$ components of $\beta$ are fitted,After multiplying by ${\sigma }^2$ and discarding the model-independent constant, this is exactly Mallows Cp:

To compare it with prediction error, write $Y=\mu +\epsilon$ and $Y^{\ast }=\mu +{\epsilon }^{\ast }$, where $\mu =X\beta$, the two errors are independent, and both have covariance ${\sigma }^{2}I$. Since $H\mu =\mu$, $H$ is an orthogonal projection of rank $p$, andThe cross term has zero expectation, soOn the other hand,Therefore the unbiased prediction-error identity for ordinary least squares gives

A binary linear-feedback shift register of degree $d$ has a state
$(s_n,\dots ,s_{n+d-1})\in {\mathbb{F}}_2^d$ and recurrenceIts feedback polynomial is

There are $2^d$ states, and the zero state is fixed. A nonzero periodic orbit therefore visits at most the other $2^d-1$ states, proving the period bound for a linear-feedback shift register.

For a maximal orbit with $d>1$, the all-one state cannot itself be fixed. From that state the incoming bit is $a_0+\cdots +a_{d-1}$ in ${\mathbb{F}}_2$. If an odd number of the $a_i$ were one, the incoming bit would be one and the all-one state would be fixed. Hence an even number of the $a_i$ are one; including the leading coefficient, the feedback polynomial has an odd number of nonzero coefficients. This is the feedback-polynomial parity condition for maximal period.

The given prefix has seven consecutive zeros followed by a one. Any register of degree at most seven would therefore enter the all-zero state before producing the final one, which is impossible. Degree eight is attained bywith initial state $10000000$. It produces the next bit $1$ and has feedback polynomialThus this is the minimal linear-feedback shift register for the prefix 100000001.
