Median-preserving conjecture for the stopped-random-walk tree dynamics
Median-preserving conjecture for the stopped-random-walk tree dynamics
Let be the set of finite words over , and let denote the probability measure on attached to the tree node indexed by . For a word , write and for the masses on the nonnegative and nonpositive integers, respectively.
Tree-asymmetry conjecture. For every ,
This asserts that the strict asymmetry created by the first left or right step persists throughout the entire tree evolution. It is presented as a generalization of Cusick's conjecture; the weaker median inequalities are discussed separately, and the proposed strict statement remains open.
