Shift the absorbing interval to and start at . The gambler’s-ruin harmonic functions give and .
The extinction probability is the smallest fixed point of the convex generating function in . Since and make strict convexity relevant, the only fixed point is .
The required harmonic function is
On the upper and lower boundary its argument is respectively and , while at infinity the logarithm tends to .
For fixed add to so the resulting function also vanishes at . Repeated Rolle gives a point where its st derivative vanishes, yielding the formula.
The inverse function theorem says that a map with invertible derivative at restricts to a diffeomorphism between neighbourhoods of and . It makes every zero isolated. Compactness of , together with separation from zero on the boundary, then makes the zero set finite and interior. Continuity of gives the displayed radii. Choose disjoint balls around the zeros and a positive lower bound for on their complement and boundary. A sufficiently small perturbation has no zeros outside, while the quoted local lemma gives exactly one zero in each ball with the same determinant sign. Summing proves .
Expanding the derivative limit along real and imaginary increments gives and . Since , the required function is , and . Two such functions differ by a holomorphic function with zero real part; the open mapping theorem makes it constant, and the value at zero makes that constant zero.
Bounded means finite diameter; sequential compactness means every sequence has a convergent subsequence. A failure of uniform continuity supplies two close sequences whose image distances stay apart; a convergent subsequence contradicts continuity. Into a discrete metric, continuity is local constancy, and compactness upgrades the radii uniformly. The Cantor set is closed in compact , hence sequentially compact. Uniform local constancy gives a positive separation scale, so finitely many initial Cantor-code (binary) digits determine . Removing zero destroys compactness: the hinted function reading the digit after the first is continuous at every remaining sequence but depends on arbitrarily late digits.
A choice function on a family of nonempty sets satisfies . Zermelo's theorem says every set has a total order under which every nonempty subset has a least element.
continues when they agree on a nonempty connected component reached by an overlapping chain of function elements. A complete analytic function contains every continuation. Its Riemann surface is the set of its germs; germ neighbourhoods are charts, projection records the base point, and germ evaluation gives a holomorphic map to .
The characteristic function of is
Thus every already has the standard Cauchy law, and convergence in law follows from characteristic-function convergence theorem.
The marginal utility price is
The value function is concave; its tangent at zero lies above its graph. Evaluating that supporting inequality at the utility-indifference displacement gives
, hence .
The basic functions are zero , successor , and projections . Close these under composition and primitive recursion:
No. Point evaluation is continuous on , and every limit of functions supported away from zero has trace . A smooth function with nonzero value at zero belongs to but not to this .
For , is the common kernel of ; is the transcendence degree of its function field, and is smooth when . A nonzero maximal Jacobian minor defines a nonempty open smooth locus (generic rank gives nonemptiness).
A line corresponds to . Lines through satisfy , a projective line. For a smooth curve , the dual morphism is .
For , eliminating from gives
The dual sextic is singular: its nine cusps are the tangent lines at the nine flexes of the cubic. Thus points of mapping to singularities are precisely inflection points, where the tangent has higher contact.
Runge theorem says that if is compact and is connected, every function holomorphic near is uniformly approximable on by polynomials.
Choose a compact exhaustion of the slit disc , rounding the two sides of the slit so that and is connected. Runge applied to gives a polynomial with . Every compact subset of the slit disc lies in all sufficiently large , proving locally uniform convergence.
For perfect balance, and the all-zero probability is zero. For other balances the one-shot outcomes overlap the constant case. Repeat Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm and declare nonconstant upon any nonzero result. Constants are never misclassified; a -balanced function fails after trials with probability , . It suffices that , using that many oracle calls.
For machine index , is the partial -ary function computed by that machine under the fixed coding, and is its halting domain (equivalently the r.e. set enumerated by machine , under the course convention).
Kleene's recursion theorem says that for every total recursive map on program indices there is an index with the same partial function as program .
