There are quite a few people in this group that have strong mathematical
skills or mathematics backgrounds.  The trouble is, there are few in
this group with the mind-reading abilities needed to figure out what
"problem" you happen to be thinking about at any given time, or to
understand the difference between the weird ideas in your head and the
gibberish you write in your posts.

Have you ever noticed a pattern in the replies to your posts?  There is
an extraordinary number of them that start out with words like
"nonsense", "rubbish", or "bollocks".  Doesn't that give you a hint?

I attach very little weight to that. If people express themselves in such a manner,
you can't conclude much.

No, "doctor". If _one_ person expresses himself in such a manner, you
can't conclude much. If, on the other hand, your replies have the
tendency to extract such manner of replies from _many_ respondents, you
have to reconsider whether they might not be correct. And the latter is
the case.

Your "understanding" how linguistically competent adult
speakers communicate with each other appears to be interfering with your 
ability to understand what people are telling you. You can have a PDF 
over Cantor dust. You can have a PDF over [0,1]^n that is non-zero only 
at points in the Cantor dust set. However, Cantor dust is not even a 
function, let alone a PDF.

So what does the Chinese hat mean?

The issue is that any search that starts from zero is predicated on the supposition
that the PDF goes to zero as it approaches infinity. So if our PDF is a Gaussian,
there is no point at which is is zero, it's positive for any value. But it gets very
low after 3 standard deviations, and very low indeed after five. So let's say our
search function is  O(2^x). If 8 is acceptable, 32 barely doable, and 64 catastrophic,
that's likely OK, we've got to take a huge number of samples before we'll get even
one with an sd of six.
Now we've also got to assume that the point at which the PDF goes to "negligible"
is also representable using logs. Another thing we've got assume is that there
is  such a point.
So my question was, is there a pathological PDF such that we can't say that it
becomes negligible as x approaches infinity? I floated the idea of a Cantor dust
function as such a possibility - lots of points, all of infinitesimal width, but
an infinite number of them, scatted chaotically over the whole interval 0 to
infinity. It appears that not only is that physically impossible, it doesn't make
any mathematical sense either. 
That was the question.

Yes.  Consider the PDF on [1,inf)

P(x) = 1   if x in [n, n + 1/2^n) for integer n
     = 0   otherwise

So that means that we've got a probability that x is between 1 and
1/2, between 2 and 1/4, between 3 and 1/8 and so on, right the
way up to infinity. So there's always an interval which is high.

But it's a "probability density function". Does that count?
Isn't it still the case that whilst P(1 exactly) == 
P(very high exactly), P(1 plus a little bit) = 1, P(very high plus
a little bit) = 0, so we'll never actually see P(very high) ?

No.  For a start, I think you've misread the formula.  It's one in the
intervals [1, 3/2), [2, 9/4), [3, 25/8), ... and zero elsewhere.  But I
also think you are misusing the notion of "having a probability".  We've
got a probability that x is in any interval you care to name (provided
it's in the domain) -- it's just that the probability we've got is
sometimes zero.

(Also, you don't have to say "we've got a probability that x is
between..." because the function gives it to us.  The probability that x
is in [1, 2) is 1/2, for example.)

The "So there's always an interval which is high" means, I think, that
for any x there is always a y > x with P(y) = 1.  This is why the
example satisfies one interpretation of your request -- lim P(x) as x ->
oo is not zero (indeed there is no limit as x -> oo).  It a natural
interpretation because you had been talking about a PDF that goes to
zero as x -> oo, and this one does not.

That's a bit vague but yes, pretty much.  This function is an example of
what you asked for, but not an example of what you wanted.  You want one
where the probability of x being in some fixed interval around x (the
most obvious example being the intervals [x, x+1) for x in N) does not
go to zero.  You want something akin to the limit of the uniform
distribution U(1,m) as the m -> oo, but that PDF (if it can even be
called a PDF) is negligible everywhere.

Ben.

Repeated set cross product. [0,1]^2 would be the section of the

Not even close. Most searches don't involve PDFs in any way shape or form.

What's x?

8, 32, and 64 whats?

Which sd? The sd of the PDF is fixed, regardless of sample size. 
Therefore, it is always greater than six, always less then six, or 
always six. The sd of your samples is independent of how many samples 
are taken. It is however dependent on the size of the sample, with 
larger samples having smaller standard deviations.

Or do you mean the probability that the sample will contain a point at 
least six standard deviations from the mean?

What would it mean that a point is representable using logs? Why would 
we have to assume it? You don't appear to use that (whatever that is) 
anywhere.

Again, why? You don't appear to use that anywhere.

Yes.

Let's say we get a much text as there are atoms in the universe.
10^82 bytes. So if we grow a buffer by repeated multiplication by 
ten, only 82 steps - hardly a challenge, it's even doable if we must
ask for the sizes by hand.

But if we get seriously large numbers, such that we can't write down
the logarithm, we're in trouble. If something is growing for N steps,
super-exponentially, we can't hope to find it by repeatedly asking
"too high?" "too low?" and multiplying by a factor.

And with RAM being, say, a pound a Gigabyte, it will only cost us 10 
million million million million million million million million million 
million million million pounds.

I'll have two of those, please.

Right.

Exactly.
But if could ask someone "is this estimate too high, too low, or just 
right?" how long would it take us to get an exact figure, which we could
then write out in 82 digits?

I've always had a soft-spot for Graham's number, which I think qualifies
as "seriously large".  Not only can you not "represent it using logs",
but it needs several layers of new notation in order to find a way to
describe it.

It is the best proven upper bound for the answer to a difficult
combinatorics problem.  But the great thing is that the actual answer to
the problem is likely to be 6!

About 272 steps.

It's always risky using ! for emphasis when talking about
combinatorics!!  So, just be clear, you mean 6, of course, not 720.  But
the lower bound has been improved of late.  I think it's 13 now but it's
still a shockingly wide range.

I was wondering about that. But then I thought that if he'd meant 720, 
he'd have written "... 6!." with a full stop.

(I then also thought that compared with Graham's number (is that the one 
with towers of "^"?) both 6 and 720 might as well be zero.)

Thank you! I thought he meant 720!!!

A question with a slightly narrower range:

What is the largest number that the C language *guarantees* can be 
represented *exactly* across *all* ISO standards, in a hosted environment?

You may use any normal (integer) number base, but hacks are out. By 
"hacks", I mean named constants (like "Graham's Number"), operators 
(e.g. "^=integer power: 9^9^9^9^9^9..."), and so on. It's a C puzzle, 
not a word puzzle.

I'll try to set a decent bar, and then let's see if it can be improved.

2.2.4.1 of C89 will appear somewhere in C90 with different numbering, 
and guarantees us an object of 32767 bytes. We are also guaranteed 127 
identifiers with block scope declared in one block. So we can use one of 
those to count the "string", so we don't need a null terminator.

2.2.1 of the same standard gives us a guarantee that we have at least 91 
different symbols we can use, so we'll work in base 91. So the highest 
number we can represent is 32767 digits of maximum value (90), giving us 
an integer equal to 91^32767 - 1, which in base ten is the following 
64192-digit number:

If you've got N binary bits, and you need to be able to represent all the numbers
int he range  0 - biggest possible, then you can't do any better than using
base 2, and each bit as a symbol.
You can then communicate with humans by converting to and from hex.

If you only want big numbers, you can say that some of the leading bits are assumed 
to be set. But you only save one bit if you restrict yourself to the top half of
the range.
It's my question about the probability density function in disguise. There's no
way of making the numbers you represent more dense as you approach infinity.
You can try a fractal approach, which will give you what looks like a random
number, and you can then make it arbitrarily large. But you've got to devise a
new algorithm if given a different number to represent.

I make that 100 symbols (C11 draft N1570, 5.2.1, as that's what I have
on-hand) - I think you forgot the space and control characters in the
"basic execution character set".  But there could be differences between
the standards.

C11 also ups the limits to 65535 bytes in an object (for hosted
environments).

That brings us to 99...999 (with 131070 nines).


However, I don't see why we can't just have our 65535 bytes (C bytes,
not necessarily octets) as unsigned chars.  That gives us 256 ^ 65535 -
1 as the maximum value, with 157824 digits (1014207253....8383538175).


But that's a rather boring problem, if we only represent numbers
directly like that.  Lets allow our 65KB "object" to include C source
code as well (relying only on features of ISO C, of course).  Perhaps we
should say that it must be only C source code.  The problem now is not
to find the biggest number that can be represented (since it's easy to
spit out ridiculously large numbers of digits), but to find the smallest
number that /cannot/ be represented.

To get started, we should have a limit rather smaller than 65KB.  With a
limit of 46 characters, I think 10 is the limit:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){puts("9");}

Obviously that can be extended with a 10^n - 1 being representable using
45+n characters.  But when do we beat that?

We can allow the user to pass us a number, then pass it out.
I'm not sure if that counts as "representing the number in the program".

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  if(argc > 1)
    {
     do
       if(isdigit(argv[1][0]))
          putchar(argv[1][0]);
          while(argv[1]++[0]);
     }
    }

I would say that is definitely not valid - the program does not
represent any number.
