The irregularity of distributions problem, stated first by Hugo Steinhaus, is a numerical problem with a surprising result. The problem is to find ''N'' numbers, , all between 0 and 1, for which the following conditions hold: * The first two numbers must be in different halves (one less than 1/2, one greater than 1/2). * The first 3 numbers must be in different thirds (one less than 1/3, one between 1/3 and 2/3, one greater than 2/3). * The first 4 numbers must be in different fourths. * The first 5 numbers must be in different fifths. * etc. Mathematically, we are looking for a sequence of real numbers : such that for every ''n'' ∈ and every ''k'' ∈ there is some ''i'' ∈ such that : == Solution == The surprising result is that there is a solution up to ''N'' = 17, but starting at ''N'' = 18 and above it is impossible. A possible solution for ''N'' ≤ 17 is shown diagrammatically on the right; numerically it is as follows: : In this example, considering for instance the first 5 numbers, we have : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irregularity of distributions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
