Here $q_N(n)$ are certain functions of $n$ taking on nonnegative integer values when $n$ runs from 0 to $N$ and the dependence on $N$ is the main generalization here which requires certain conditions under which we obtain Poisson distributions limits of $\\cN_N$ when counting is until $N$ as $N\\to\\infty$ and geometric distributions limits when counting is until $\\tau_N$ as $N\\to\\infty$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-16T15:06:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "limit theorems", "geometric distributions limits", "poisson distributions limits", "first return", "sequence space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
