Extract

Let {an } be an increasing sequence of positive integers and let be the family of all functions from the positive integers into the positive integers, which satisfy Assume that are random functions with probabilities and for all n > 1 and 0 elsewhere, i.e., all permissible values of f, given the past, are equally likely.
