L S Penrose's limit theorem: Tests by simulation
L S Penrose’s Limit Theorem – which is implicit in Penrose [7, p. 72] and for which he gave no rigorous proof – says that, in simple weighted voting games, if the number of voters increases indefinitely and the relative quota is pegged, then – under certain conditions – the ratio between the voting powers of any two voters converges to the ratio between their weights. Lindner and Machover [4] p...
متن کامل( refereed ) L . S . Penrose ' s limit theorem : proof of some special cases . Ines Lindner and
LS Penrose was the first to propose a measure of voting power (which later came to be known as ‘the [absolute] Banzhaf index’). His limit theorem – which is implicit in Penrose (1952) and for which he gave no rigorous proof – says that, in simple weighted voting games, if the number of voters increases indefinitely while the quota is pegged at half the total weight, then – under certain conditi...
متن کامل6 Hall ’ s Theorem for Limit Groups
A celebrated theorem of Marshall Hall implies that finitely generated free groups are subgroup separable and that all of their finitely generated subgroups are retracts of finite-index subgroups. We use topological techniques inspired by the work of Stallings to prove that all limit groups share these two properties. This answers a question of Sela and provides a purely topological proof that f...
متن کاملThe Local Limit Theorem: A Historical Perspective
The local limit theorem describes how the density of a sum of random variables follows the normal curve. However the local limit theorem is often seen as a curiosity of no particular importance when compared with the central limit theorem. Nevertheless the local limit theorem came first and is in fact associated with the foundation of probability theory by Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fer...
متن کاملLocal limit theorem for large deviations and statistical box-tests
Abstract: Let n particles be independently allocated into N boxes, where the l-th box appears with the probability al. Let μr be the number of boxes with exactly r particles and μ = [μr1 , . . . , μrm ]. Asymptotical behavior of such random variables as N tends to infinity was studied by many authors. It was previously known that ifNal are all upper bounded and n/N is upper and lower bounded by...
