Pólya’s Recurrence Theorem
Pólya’s recurrence theorem states: a simple random walk on a d-dimensional lattice is recurrent for d = 1, 2 and transient for d > 2. In this paper we discuss proof for this theorem by formulating the problem as an electric circuit problem and using Rayleigh’s short-cut method from classical theory of electricity.
متن کاملExtension of Pólya’s theorem to signomials with rational exponents
Pólya proved that if a real, homogeneous polynomial is positive on the nonnegative orthant (except at the origin), then it is the quotient of two homogeneous polynomials with no negative coefficients. We generalize this from polynomials to signomials with arbitrary rational exponents; we also show that Pólya’s theorem does not generalize to arbitrary signomials (i.e., with irrational (real) exp...
متن کاملInfinity of Zeros of Recurrence Sequences
Received: January 27, 2011 Accepted: February 12, 2011 doi:10.5539/jmr.v3n3p130 Abstract The purpose of this work is to study the zeros of linear recurrence sequence, with constant coefficients. We give a simple proof of well known Skolem-Mahler-Lech theorem. The advantage of this work is similar to the one done by V. Halava and collaborators, but in a simple way. We study the problem when the ...

" I think you might do something better with the time " , Alice said, " than wasting it in asking riddles that have no answer "-from A Mad Tea-Party Abstract. First year undergraduates usually learn about the classical Rolle's theorem saying that between two consecutive zeros of a smooth function f one can always find at least one zero of f ′. But what happens with the zeros of higher derivativ...
متن کاملLee-yang Zeros for Substitutional Systems
Qualitative and quantitative information about critical phenomena is provided by the distribution of zeros of the partition function in the complex plane. We apply this idea to Ising models on non-periodic systems based on substitution. In 1D we consider the Thue-Morse chain and show that the magnetic field zeros are filling a Cantor subset of the unit circle, the gaps being related to a genera...
