Compared with the SUM OF DIGITS we go one step further. Taking two consecutive substrings of length L we can calculate the difference of these sums to proof if there would be any correlation between these two values that is a dependence of the 2*L digits. Here is an example for p with L=5. First sequence X=14159 -> SUM (X)=20 First sequence Y=26535 -> SUM (Y)=21 Difference of sums = SUM(X)-SUM(Y) = 20-21 = -1 We have a simple recursive law for the expected distribution. Let w(L,d) be the probability that two chains of length L have a difference of sums d. Then w(L+1,d) = w(L,d) / 10 + sum w(L,d-i) x (10-i)/10 + sum w(L,d+i) x (10-i)/10 where sums taken for i=1 to 9. Starting condition is: w(1,d) = (10-abs(d))/100 for d= -9,-8,..+8,+9. For any L the difference of sums of digits is located between -9*L (X=000..0,Y=999..9) and S=9*L (X=999..9, Y=000..0). Again, when going to longer and longer chains the min and max difference became extremely improbable because the likelihood for a single digit long run falls like 10-L. | |
